Analysis
HTS 8414.51.30 covers ceiling fans for permanent installation under heading 8414 (air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling…).
The general duty rate is 4.7% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 84 (96th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $470 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
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 4.7 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, the Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.7%. 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.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 7.4 times the general rate.
