8417
Industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens, including incinerators, nonelectric, and parts thereof
Analysis
Heading 8417 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens, including incinerators, nonelectric, and parts thereof. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 4 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.9% to 3.9% with a median of 3.7%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 3.7% sits at the 83rd percentile of the headings in chapter 84.
The largest subheadings are 8417.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 8417.20 (unnamed, 1 line), 8417.80 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8417.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing (333994) and Food Product Machinery Manufacturing (333241). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
