Coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame
Analysis
Subheading 8311.30 covers coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame, within heading 8311. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 2 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8311.30.30 for coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or… (duty-free) and 8311.30.60 for coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or… (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331491). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
