Analysis
Heading 8802 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other aircraft (for example, helicopters, airplanes, except unmanned aircraft of heading 8806); spacecraft (including satellites) and suborbital and spacecraft launch vehicles. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 36 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 7 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 8802.60 (spacecraft (including satellites) and suborbital…, 2 lines), 8802.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 8802.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8802.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Aircraft Manufacturing (336411), Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (336414) and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 48th percentile of the headings in chapter 88.
