Analysis

Heading 8528 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 70 eight-digit tariff lines, with 79 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

41 of its 70 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (59%) and 29 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5%. The median line pays duty-free.

The spread of 5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5%, applies to 8528.59.33 (other: other) and 8528.59.50 (other: other).

The largest subheadings are 8528.72 (other, color, 22 lines), 8528.49 (other, 15 lines), 8528.69 (other, 13 lines) and 8528.59 (other, 11 lines).

Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
