8412.31.00

Analysis

HTS 8412.31.00 covers linear acting (cylinders) under heading 8412 (other engines and motors, and parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

For statistics it divides in two: 8412.31.00.40 for tie-rod type and 8412.31.00.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

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.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 27.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 27.5% duty.
