It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 7 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 7%, applies to 9008.50.10 (projectors, enlargers and reducers: slide…).
3 of its 7 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (43%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 7%. The median line pays 2.9%.
