Analysis
HTS 8504.90.75 covers printed circuit assemblies: other under heading 8504 (electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors; parts…).
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.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 8504.90.20 (printed circuit assemblies, duty-free), 8504.90.41 (of power supplies for automatic data processing machines or…, duty-free), 8504.90.65 (of the goods of subheading 8504.40 or 8504.50 for…, duty-free) and 8504.90.96 (other: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing), an industry of 861 US establishments employing 49,932 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
