Analysis
Subheading 0713.90 covers other, within heading 0713. 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 4 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 0713.90.11 for seeds of a kind used for sowing (1.5¢/kg), 0713.90.50 for other: guar seeds (duty-free), 0713.90.61 for if entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31… (0.8¢/kg) and 0713.90.81 for if entered for consumption outside the above stated period, or if… (1.5¢/kg).
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.
