Parts and accessories of printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders and other printing components of heading 8442
Analysis
Subheading 8443.91 covers parts and accessories of printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders and other printing components of heading 8442, within heading 8443. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 3 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8443.91.10 for machines for uses ancillary to printing (duty-free), 8443.91.20 for parts for textile printing machinery (duty-free) and 8443.91.30 for parts and accessories of printing machinery used for printing by… (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (33324). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
