Containers of a kind normally carried on the person, in the pocket or in the handbag
Analysis
HTS 7419.80.15 covers containers of a kind normally carried on the person, in the pocket or in the handbag under heading 7419 (other articles of copper).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 3%. Compared with 7419.80.50 (other: other), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 3% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 74 (74th percentile of 89 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 110%, 36.7 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3%. 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.
