9705.10.00
Collections and collectors’ pieces of archaeological, ethnographic or historical interest
Analysis
HTS 9705.10.00 covers collections and collectors’ pieces of archaeological, ethnographic or historical interest under heading 9705 (collections and collectors’ pieces of archaeological, ethnographic, historical…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
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.
The ten-digit suffixes separate archaeological pieces of a kind… and ethnographic pieces of a kind described…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
