Analysis
HTS 8802.60.90 covers spacecraft (including satellites) and suborbital and spacecraft launch vehicles: other under heading 8802 (other aircraft (for example, helicopters, airplanes, except unmanned aircraft of heading…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
For statistics it divides in two: 8802.60.90.20 for military and 8802.60.90.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 96% of the 28 tariff lines in chapter 88. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 27.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 27.5% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), an industry of 52 US establishments employing 29,556 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
