Analysis
HTS 8311.90.00 covers wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for… under heading 8311 (wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products of base metal or of metal…).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 26% of the 58 tariff lines in chapter 83 that are also free. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
The other lines in the same group are 8311.10.00 (coated electrodes of base metal, for electric arc-welding, duty-free), 8311.20.00 (cored wire of base metal, for electric arc-welding, duty-free), 8311.30.30 (coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering…, duty-free) and 8311.30.60 (coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering…, duty-free).
