Analysis
Subheading 8214.90 covers other, within heading 8214. 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.
The US splits it as follows: 8214.90.30 for cleavers with their handles (1¢ each + 4.9%), 8214.90.60 for cleavers and the like not elsewhere specified or included: other (0.2¢ each + 3.1%) and 8214.90.90 for other: other (including parts) (1.4¢ each + 3.2%).
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.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Metal Kitchen Cookware, Utensil, Cutlery, and Flatware (except Precious) Manufacturing (332215). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
