Analysis
HTS 7804.11.00 covers sheets, strip and foil of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2 mm under heading 7804 (lead plates, sheets, strip and foil; lead powders and flakes).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7804.20.00 (powders and flakes), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2.2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 2.2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 78 (64th percentile of 7 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $220 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 20.5 times the general rate.
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 2.2%. 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.
