Analysis
HTS 9033.00.90 covers parts and accessories (not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter) for machines, appliances, instruments or apparatus of chapter 90: other under heading 9033 (parts and accessories (not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter) for machines…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to duty-free. Compared with 9033.00.30 (touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called “touch screens”)…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.4 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 4.4% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 90 (91st percentile of 296 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $440 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 9.1 times the general rate.
