8716

Analysis

Heading 8716 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 10 eight-digit tariff lines, with 27 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

7 of its 10 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (70%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.7%. The median line pays duty-free.

The spread of 5.7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.7%, applies to 8716.90.30 (castors, other than those of heading 8302).

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 87.

The largest subheadings are 8716.90 (parts, 3 lines), 8716.80 (other vehicles, 2 lines), 8716.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8716.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Truck Trailer Manufacturing (336212), Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing (336214) and Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (336390). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
