8464

Analysis

Heading 8464 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers machine tools for working stone, ceramics, concrete, asbestos-cement or like mineral materials or for cold working glass. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 5 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2%. The median line pays 2%.

The largest subheadings are 8464.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 8464.20 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8464.90 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of 2% sits at the 63rd percentile of the headings in chapter 84.

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.

The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
