Analysis
HTS 8467.99.01 covers parts: other 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.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 4.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8467.19.10 (suitable for metal working), at 4.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 4.5 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 8467.99.01.30 for of gasoline powered grass and weed trimmers and brushcutters and 8467.99.01.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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 27.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 27.5% duty.
