0712
Dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared
Analysis
Heading 0712 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 22 eight-digit tariff lines, with 28 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 29.8 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 29.8%, applies to 0712.20.20 (onions: powder or flour) and 0712.90.40 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: garlic).
2 of its 13 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (15%) and 11 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 29.8%. The median line pays 8.3%.
9 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The largest subheadings are 0712.90 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables, 11 lines), 0712.39 (other, 3 lines), 0712.20 (onions, 2 lines) and 0712.31 (mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, 2 lines).
