HTS 8416.30.00 covers mechanical stokers, including their mechanical grates, mechanical ash dischargers and similar appliances under heading 8416 (furnace burners for liquid fuel, for pulverized solid fuel or for gas; mechanical…).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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.
The other lines in the same group are 8416.10.00 (furnace burners for liquid fuel, duty-free), 8416.20.00 (furnace burners for liquid fuel, for pulverized solid fuel…, duty-free) and 8416.90.00 (furnace burners for liquid fuel, for pulverized solid fuel…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333414 (Heating Equipment (except Warm Air Furnaces) Manufacturing), an industry of 354 US establishments employing 17,079 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
