Analysis
HTS 1201.90.00 covers soybeans, whether or not broken: other under heading 1201 (soybeans, whether or not broken). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 77% of the 44 tariff lines in chapter 12. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 1201.10.00 (soybeans, whether or not broken: seed, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111110 (Soybean Farming). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
The ten-digit suffixes separate seeds of a kind used as oil stock and certified organic. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
