HTS tariff line · chapter 87
8716.40.00
Trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof: other trailers and semi-trailers
Analysis
HTS 8716.40.00 covers trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof: other trailers and semi-trailers under heading 8716 (trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 5.7%. Compared with 8716.90.30 (castors, other than those of heading 8302), which pays 5.7%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.7 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 45% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 45% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 47% of the 212 tariff lines in chapter 87, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), an industry of 569 US establishments employing 45,403 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
