8205.59.30

Analysis

HTS 8205.59.30 covers crowbars, track tools and wedges, and parts thereof under heading 8205 (handtools (including glass cutters) not elsewhere specified or included; blow torches and…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms and number of items.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (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.

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7.2%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8205.59.10 (pipe tools, and parts thereof), at 7.2%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 7.2 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 8205.59.30.10 for crowbars and 8205.59.30.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 41% of the 95 tariff lines in chapter 82. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
