HTS tariff line · chapter 89
8908.00.00
Vessels and other floating structures for breaking up (scrapping)
Analysis
HTS 8908.00.00 covers vessels and other floating structures for breaking up (scrapping) under heading 8908 (vessels and other floating structures for breaking up (scrapping)).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 53% of the 32 tariff lines in chapter 89 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
It is the only US line under subheading 8908.00, 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 8908.00 points straight here.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
