8466.93.15

Analysis

HTS 8466.93.15 covers cast-iron parts not advanced beyond cleaning, and machined only for the removal of fins, gates, sprues and risers or to permit location in finishing machinery under heading 8466 (parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in 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.

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 5.8%. Compared with 8466.93.75 (of metalworking machine tools for cutting gears), which pays 5.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.8 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 8466.93.15.30 for for metalworking machine tools for cutting, grinding or… and 8466.93.15.60 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

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.
