Analysis
HTS 8715.00.00 covers baby carriages (including strollers) and parts thereof under heading 8715 (baby carriages (including strollers) and parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
The general duty rate is 4.4% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 87 (87th percentile of 212 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $440 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 4.4%. 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 45%, 10.2 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 8715.00.00.20 for baby carriages (including strollers) and 8715.00.00.40 for parts. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
It is the only US line under subheading 8715.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 8715.00 points straight here.
