Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 27th percentile of the headings in chapter 94.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing (339114), Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113) and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing (337127).
