Analysis
HTS 8414.90.91 covers parts: other under heading 8414 (air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4.7%. The costliest confusion would be with 8414.90.10 (of fans (including blowers) and ventilating or recycling hoods) at 4.7%, a difference of 4.7 points on the customs value.
For statistics it divides in two: 8414.90.91.40 for of vacuum pumps and 8414.90.91.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.
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.
