Analysis
Subheading 9017.20 covers other drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments, 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.6%. The median line pays 3.9%.
The US splits it as follows: 9017.20.40 for disc calculators, slide rules and other mathematical calculating… (3.9%), 9017.20.70 for other drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments… (duty-free) and 9017.20.80 for other drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments… (4.6%).
