Analysis
HTS 9027.90.56 covers of instruments and apparatus of subheading 9027.20, 9027.30, 9027.50, 9027.81 or 9027.89 under heading 9027 (instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis (for example, polarimeters…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 73% of the 296 tariff lines in chapter 90, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
The ten-digit suffixes separate of articles of subheading 9027.20.50, of articles of subheading 9027.30.40, of articles of subheading 9027.50.10 and of articles of subheading 9027.50.40. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
