0209
Pig fat, free of lean meat, and poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried or smoked
Analysis
Heading 0209 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers pig fat, free of lean meat, and poultry fat, not rendered or otherwise extracted, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried or smoked. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 2 eight-digit tariff lines, with 2 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.2% to 3.2% with a median of 3.2%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 0209.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 0209.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering (311611) and Poultry Processing (311615). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of 3.2% sits at the 46th percentile of the headings in chapter 02.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
