Analysis
Subheading 8537.10 covers for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, within heading 8537. 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (25%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.7%. The median line pays 2.7%.
The US splits it as follows: 8537.10.30 for assembled with outer housing or supports, for the goods of headings… (2.7%), 8537.10.60 for motor control centers (2.7%), 8537.10.80 for touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called "touch screens")… (duty-free) and 8537.10.91 for other: other (2.7%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing (335313) and Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing (335314). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
