Other agricultural, horticultural, forestry, poultry-keeping or bee-keeping machinery, including germination plant fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment; poultry incubators and brooders; parts thereof
Analysis
Heading 8436 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other agricultural, horticultural, forestry, poultry-keeping or bee-keeping machinery, including germination plant fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment; poultry incubators and brooders; parts thereof. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 6 eight-digit tariff lines, with 16 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 6 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 8436.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 8436.21 (unnamed, 1 line), 8436.29 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8436.80 (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 Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing (333111) and Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
