Rates on the nearby lines range from 2.5% to 3.9%. The costliest confusion would be with 8484.20.00 (gaskets and similar joints of metal sheeting combined with other…) at 3.9%, a difference of 1.4 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 2.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 84 (68th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $250 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
