Analysis
HTS 8714.96.10 covers pedals and parts thereof under heading 8714 (parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 10%. The costliest confusion would be with 8714.96.50 (cotterless-type crank sets and parts thereof) at duty-free, a difference of 8 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 8% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 87 (90th percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $800 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 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 8%. 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: 4% for JP.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 3.8 times the general rate.
