Analysis
HTS 8113.00.00 covers cermets and articles thereof, including waste and scrap under heading 8113 (cermets and articles thereof, including waste and scrap).
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 12.2 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 3.7%. 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.
The general duty rate is 3.7% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 81 (51st percentile of 71 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $370 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
It is the only US line under subheading 8113.00, 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 8113.00 points straight here.
