The general duty rate is 2.6% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 84 (71st percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $260 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 15.4 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.6%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The other lines in the same group are 8450.90.20 (tubs and tub assemblies, 2.6%) and 8450.90.60 (parts: other, 2.6%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 335220 (Major Household Appliance Manufacturing), an industry of 180 US establishments employing 47,877 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
