Analysis
Subheading 7907.00 covers other articles of zinc, within heading 7907. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3% to 3% with a median of 3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7907.00.10 for articles of a type used for household, table or kitchen use; toilet… (3%), 7907.00.20 for zinc tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings (for example, couplings… (3%) and 7907.00.60 for other articles of zinc: other (3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999) and Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
