2. Applicable-metal calculation
Applicable metal for 8414.59.6590: aluminum. The steel and copper in the motor are not counted, because CBP's list does not name those metals for this line (same principle as CBP's 8302.10.60 example in CSMS #68253075).
0.09 kg ÷ 2.15 kg = 4.19%.
The calculated applicable-metal share is below 15%. Your licensed customs broker determines whether 9903.82.03 applies and may be claimed. Broker export second quantity: 0.090 kg.
Computed by the same calculator as our free 15% calculator: strictly less than 15% qualifies; exactly 15.00% does not.
