Analysis
HTS 8425.39.01 covers winches; capstans: other under heading 8425 (pulley tackle and hoists other than skip hoists; winches and capstans; jacks).
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.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333923 (Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing), an industry of 321 US establishments employing 20,547 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
All 6 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
