Steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines: other
Analysis
HTS 8424.30.90 covers steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines: other under heading 8424 (mechanical appliances (whether or not hand operated) for projecting, dispersing or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.9%. Compared with 8424.90.10 (of simple piston pump sprays and powder bellows), which pays 2.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.9 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 8424.30.90.10 for powered by a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine and 8424.30.90.90 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.
