Analysis
Subheading 8479.90 covers parts, within heading 8479. 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 7 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 7 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: 8479.90.41 for of articles of subheading 8479.89.10 or 8479.89.70 (duty-free), 8479.90.45 for frame assemblies incorporating more than one of the following… (duty-free), 8479.90.55 for ram assemblies incorporating a ram wrapper and/or ram cover (duty-free), 8479.90.65 for container assemblies incorporating more than one of the following… (duty-free), 8479.90.75 for of trash compactors: cabinets or cases (duty-free), 8479.90.85 for of trash compactors: other (duty-free) and 8479.90.95 for parts: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Major Household Appliance Manufacturing (335220), Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (333415) and Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
