9403.70.40

Analysis

HTS 9403.70.40 covers of reinforced or laminated plastics under heading 9403 (other furniture and parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 6 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 65% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 65% duty.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 54% of the 110 tariff lines in chapter 94. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The ten-digit suffixes separate cribs, toddler beds, bassinets and cradles, play yards and other enclosures for…, other household and office. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 33712 (Household and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), an industry of 3,955 US establishments employing 117,726 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
