8713.90.00

Analysis

HTS 8713.90.00 covers carriages for disabled persons, whether or not motorized or otherwise mechanically propelled: other under heading 8713 (carriages for disabled persons, whether or not motorized or otherwise mechanically…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

For statistics it divides in two: 8713.90.00.30 for three-wheeled and 8713.90.00.60 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 47% of the 212 tariff lines in chapter 87. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The other line in the same group is 8713.10.00 (not mechanically propelled, duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), an industry of 1,804 US establishments employing 93,937 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 10% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 10% duty.
