8455.30.00

Analysis

HTS 8455.30.00 covers rolls for rolling mills under heading 8455 (metal-rolling mills and rolls therefor; parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 9 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items and kilograms.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

The ten-digit suffixes separate not exceeding 2,268 kg, exceeding 2,268 kg but not exceeding…, exceeding 6,803.9 kg, not exceeding 2,268 kg, exceeding 2,268 kg but not exceeding… and exceeding 6,803.9 kg and 3 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

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.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
