Analysis

HTS 8414.10.00 covers air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight… under heading 8414 (air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 4.7%. Compared with 8414.90.91 (parts: other), 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 15 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.
