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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 6.9% to 7.2% with a median of 7.050000000000001%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 9617.00.10 for having a capacity not exceeding 1 liter (7.2%), 9617.00.30 for having a capacity exceeding 1 liter but not exceeding 2 liters (6.9%), 9617.00.40 for having a capacity exceeding 2 liters (6.9%) and 9617.00.60 for vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels, complete; parts thereof other… (7.2%).
