7613.00.00

Analysis

HTS 7613.00.00 covers aluminum containers for compressed or liquefied gas under heading 7613 (aluminum containers for compressed or liquefied gas).

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 5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 76 (71st percentile of 65 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $500 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 5%. 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.

It is the only US line under subheading 7613.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 7613.00 points straight here.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 5.0 times the general rate.
