Analysis
Subheading 8211.92 covers other knives having fixed blades, within heading 8211. 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4.4% to 4.4% with a median of 4.4%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8211.92.20 for kitchen and butcher knives (0.8¢ each + 4.6%), 8211.92.40 for with rubber or plastic handles: other (1¢ each + 4.6%), 8211.92.60 for hunting knives with wood handles (4.4%) and 8211.92.90 for other: other (0.4¢ each + 6.1%).
3 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
