Analysis
HTS 8430.49.80 covers other: other under heading 8430 (other moving, grading, leveling, scraping, excavating, tamping, compacting, extracting or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
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.
The ten-digit suffixes separate rotary and rotary. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333132 (Oil and Gas Field Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 622 US establishments employing 28,571 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
