Question 1

What does HTS 8905.90 cover?

Accepted Answer

HTS 8905.90 is a 6-digit subheading of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covering Light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers, floating cranes, and other vessels the navigability of which is subsidiary to their main function; floating docks; floating or submersible drilling or production platforms, other. It belongs to Chapter 89 and rolls up 2 10-digit statistical lines that brokers actually file at entry.

Question 2

What is the duty rate for HTS 8905.90?

Accepted Answer

Every 10-digit line under HTS 8905.90 carries a general (Column 1) duty rate of Free. Chapter 99 flags and potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags are shown at the per-line level; applicability depends on the shipment facts, written scope, and entry date.

Question 3

How do I find the right 10-digit line under HTS 8905.90?

Accepted Answer

U.S. Customs requires entries to be filed at the 10-digit statistical level — the broader subheading HTS 8905.90 is not directly fileable. Match your product description to the most specific 10-digit line in the list on this page; if multiple lines could apply, the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and chapter notes determine which one governs.

Question 4

Are there potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags under HTS 8905.90?

Accepted Answer

Tandom's current catalog view links no potentially relevant AD/CVD (antidumping or countervailing duty) order flags to lines under HTS 8905.90. Check current Commerce scope materials and Federal Register notices before relying on an HTS-only screen.
