Subheading 8477.90 covers parts, within heading 8477. 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.1% to 3.1% with a median of 3.1%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
