Machines for packaging pipe tobacco; machines for wrapping candy; machines for wrapping cigarette packages; and combination candy cutting and wrapping machines
Analysis
HTS 8422.40.11 covers machines for packaging pipe tobacco; machines for wrapping candy; machines for wrapping cigarette packages; and combination candy cutting and wrapping machines under heading 8422 (dishwashing machines; machinery for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.4%. Compared with 8422.11.00 (of the household type), which pays 2.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.4 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 8422.40.11.10 for machines for wrapping candy and 8422.40.11.90 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.
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.
