Analysis
HTS 7403.11.00 covers cathodes and sections of cathodes under heading 7403 (refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought (other than master alloys of heading 7405)).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
The general duty rate is 1% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 74 (20th percentile of 89 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $100 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 1%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
