7507
Nickel tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings (for example, couplings, elbows, sleeves)
Analysis
Heading 7507 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers nickel tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings (for example, couplings, elbows, sleeves). It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 3 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2% to 3% with a median of 2%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 2% sits at the 25th percentile of the headings in chapter 75.
The largest subheadings are 7507.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 7507.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 7507.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491) and Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (332919). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
