Analysis
Subheading 9615.19 covers other, within heading 9615. 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.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 11% to 11% with a median of 11%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 9615.19.20 for valued not over $4.50 per gross (9.7¢/gross + 1.3%), 9615.19.40 for valued over $4.50 per gross (28.8¢/gross + 4.6%) and 9615.19.60 for other: other (11%).
2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
