Analysis

HTS 8302.30.60 covers other mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for motor vehicles; and parts thereof: other under heading 8302 (base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 7.5%. Compared with 8302.49.20 (coated or plated with precious metal), which pays 7.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4 percentage points.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 12.9 times the general rate.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.5%. 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 3.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 83 (52nd percentile of 58 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $350 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
