Analysis
HTS 8714.93.35 covers other: other under heading 8714 (parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8714.93.70 (free-wheel sprocket-wheels), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 10 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. 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. Reduced but not zero rates apply under some agreements: 5% for JP.
The general duty rate is 10% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 87 (92nd percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 3.0 times the general rate.
