Ships' derricks; cranes, including cable cranes; mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers and works trucks fitted with a crane
Analysis
Heading 8426 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers ships' derricks; cranes, including cable cranes; mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers and works trucks fitted with a crane. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 9 eight-digit tariff lines, with 12 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 9 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 8426.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 8426.12 (unnamed, 1 line), 8426.19 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8426.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 84.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120), Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing (333923) and Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (333924). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
