Analysis
HTS 8437.80.00 covers machines for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or dried leguminous vegetables, and parts thereof; machinery used in the milling industry or for the… under heading 8437 (machines for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or dried leguminous vegetables, and…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
For statistics it divides in two: 8437.80.00.10 for flour mill and grain mill machines and 8437.80.00.90 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.
The other lines in the same group are 8437.10.00 (machines for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or…, duty-free) and 8437.90.00 (machines for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or…, duty-free).
