Analysis
HTS 9701.99.00 covers other: other under heading 9701 (painting, drawings and pastels, executed entirely by hand, other than drawings of heading…).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 100% of the 19 tariff lines in chapter 97 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
All 5 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
