Analysis
HTS 8413.30.10 covers fuel-injection pumps for compression-ignition engines under heading 8413 (pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators; part…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.5%. Compared with 8413.92.00 (of liquid elevators), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.5 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 2.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 84 (68th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $250 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 14.0 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
