Parts and accessories equally suitable for use with machines of two or more of the headings 8470 to 8472
Analysis
Subheading 8473.50 covers parts and accessories equally suitable for use with machines of two or more of the headings 8470 to 8472, within heading 8473. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 3 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 8473.50.30 for printed circuit assemblies (duty-free), 8473.50.60 for parts and accessories, including face plates and lock latches, of… (duty-free) and 8473.50.90 for parts and accessories equally suitable for use with machines of two… (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Semiconductor Machinery Manufacturing (333242) and Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing (334418). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
