HTS subheading · chapter 90
9016.00
Balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or better, with or without weights; parts and accessories thereof
Analysis
Subheading 9016.00 covers balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or better, with or without weights; parts and accessories thereof, within heading 9016. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.9% to 3.9% with a median of 3.3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 9016.00.20 for electrical balances and parts and accessories thereof (3.9%), 9016.00.40 for jewelers' balances and parts and accessories thereof (2.9%) and 9016.00.60 for other: other (3.3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (33399). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
