The general duty rate is 2.6% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 76 (22nd percentile of 65 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $260 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 17.3 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 7611.00.00.30 for tanks and 7611.00.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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 2.6%. 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.
