Analysis
HTS 8409.91.10 covers cast-iron parts, not advanced beyond cleaning, and machined only for the removal of fins, gates, sprues and risers or to permit location in finishing machinery under heading 8409 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 8407 or 8408). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 2.5% to 2.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 8409.91.99 (other: other) at 2.5%, a difference of 2.5 points on the customs value.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 8409.91.30 (aluminum cylinder heads, 2.5%), 8409.91.50 (to be installed in vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22…, 2.5%), 8409.91.92 (for marine propulsion engines, 2.5%) and 8409.91.99 (other: other, 2.5%).
