Voltage and voltage-current regulators with cut-out relays: other
Analysis
HTS 8511.80.40 covers voltage and voltage-current regulators with cut-out relays: other under heading 8511 (electrical ignition or starting equipment of a kind used for spark-ignition or…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 2.5% to 2.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8511.80.60 (other equipment: other), at 2.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2.5 percentage points.
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 8511.80.20 (designed for use on 6, 12 or 24 V systems, 2.5%) and 8511.80.60 (other equipment: other, 2.5%).
