8467.11.10

Analysis

HTS 8467.11.10 covers suitable for metal working under heading 8467 (tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-contained electric or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

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 general duty rate is 4.5% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 84 (95th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $450 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 8467.99.01 (parts: other) at duty-free, a difference of 4.5 points on the customs value.

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 4.5%. 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.

For statistics it divides in two: 8467.11.10.40 for grinders, polishers and sanders and 8467.11.10.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
