Analysis
HTS 8467.91.01 covers parts: of chain saws under heading 8467 (tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-contained electric or…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 4.5%. Compared with 8467.19.10 (suitable for metal working), which pays 4.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.5 percentage points.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 27.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 27.5% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333991 (Power-Driven Handtool Manufacturing), an industry of 118 US establishments employing 7,217 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
