8411.99.10

Analysis

HTS 8411.99.10 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 8411 (turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines, and parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 8411.82.80 (of a power exceeding 5,000 kW: 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.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), an industry of 440 US establishments employing 75,499 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
