Analysis
HTS 8422.30.91 covers machinery for filling, closing, sealing or labeling bottles, cans, boxes, bags or other containers; machinery for capsuling bottles, jars, tubes and similar… under heading 8422 (dishwashing machines; machinery for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 12 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.4%. The costliest confusion would be with 8422.11.00 (of the household type) at 2.4%, a difference of 2.4 points on the customs value.
The ten-digit suffixes separate machines for aerating beverages, labeling machines, vacuum or gas packaging, vacuum or gas packaging, machines for opening, filling and… and machines for forming, filling and… and 2 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
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.
