Analysis
Subheading 0712.90 covers other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables, within heading 0712. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 11 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 29.8 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 29.8%, applies to 0712.90.40 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: garlic).
1 of its 8 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (12%) and 7 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 29.8%. The median line pays 6.050000000000001%.
3 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.
Its 11 lines start with 0712.90.10 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: carrots), 0712.90.15 (olives: not ripe), 0712.90.20 (olives: ripe) and 0712.90.30 (potatoes whether or not cut or sliced but not…); the full list is in the table below.
