Analysis
Subheading 9017.10 covers drafting tables and machines, whether or not automatic, within heading 9017. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.9%. The median line pays 1.95%.
The US splits it as follows: 9017.10.40 for drafting tables and machines, whether or not automatic: plotters (duty-free) and 9017.10.80 for drafting tables and machines, whether or not automatic: other (3.9%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing (334118) and Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
