Analysis
HTS 8714.93.28 covers variable speed (except three speed) with internal gear changing mechanisms: other under heading 8714 (parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 10%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8714.93.35 (other: other), at 10%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 7 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 3% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 87 (80th percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 10.0 times the general rate.
