Analysis
HTS 9706.10.00 covers of an age exceeding 250 years under heading 9706 (antiques of an age exceeding 100 years). 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.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 100% of the 19 tariff lines in chapter 97. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 9706.90.00 (antiques of an age exceeding 100 years: other, duty-free).
The ten-digit suffixes separate silverware and furniture. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
