Assemblies and subassemblies, consisting of 2 or more parts or pieces fastened or joined together
Analysis
HTS 8529.90.16 covers assemblies and subassemblies, consisting of 2 or more parts or pieces fastened or joined together under heading 8529 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8524 to 8528). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
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 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing), an industry of 861 US establishments employing 49,932 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The ten-digit suffixes separate of radar apparatus and of radio navigational aid apparatus. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
