8528.62.00

Analysis

HTS 8528.62.00 covers capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471 under heading 8528 (monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 5%. Compared with 8528.69.60 (other: other), which pays 5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 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.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 284 US establishments employing 11,143 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
