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
Analysis
HTS 8409.99.10 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.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.5%. Compared with 8409.99.92 (for marine propulsion engines), which pays 2.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.5 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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 8409.99.91 (to be installed in vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22…, 2.5%), 8409.99.92 (for marine propulsion engines, 2.5%) and 8409.99.99 (other: other, duty-free).
