Analysis
Subheading 8528.59 covers other, within heading 8528. 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 11 US tariff lines below it are national.
6 of its 11 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (55%) and 5 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).
