8479.82.00
Mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenizing, emulsifying or stirring machines
Analysis
HTS 8479.82.00 covers mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenizing, emulsifying or stirring machines under heading 8479 (machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.8%. The costliest confusion would be with 8479.89.65 (electromechanical appliances with self-contained electric motor: other) at 2.8%, a difference of 2.8 points on the customs value.
For statistics it divides in two: 8479.82.00.40 for mixing, kneading or stirring machines and 8479.82.00.80 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
