Analysis
Subheading 7612.90 covers other, within heading 7612. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.7%. The median line pays 2.85%.
The spread of 5.7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.7%, applies to 7612.90.10 (of a capacity not exceeding 20 liters).
The US splits it as follows: 7612.90.10 for of a capacity not exceeding 20 liters (5.7%) and 7612.90.50 for other: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Metal Can Manufacturing (332431) and Other Metal Container Manufacturing (332439). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
