Analysis
HTS 0208.30.00 covers other meat and edible meat offal, fresh, chilled or frozen: of primates under heading 0208 (other meat and edible meat offal, fresh, chilled or frozen).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 6.4%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 0208.90.25 (other: frogsʼ legs), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6.4 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 6.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The general duty rate is 6.4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 02 (68th percentile of 56 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $640 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
