1202.41.80

Analysis

HTS 1202.41.80 covers in shell: other under heading 1202 (peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

This line's footnotes point to 2 additional provisions in Chapter 99: 9904.12.01 (Chapter 99 provision, 13.3¢/kg); 9904.12.19 (Chapter 99 provision). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Jordan FTA, and 8 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 163.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date. Reduced but not zero rates apply under some agreements: See 9908.12.01 for IL.

The general duty rate is 163.8% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 12 (99th percentile of 44 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $16,380 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 192.7%, 1.2 times the general rate.

For statistics it divides in two: 1202.41.80.20 for for use as oil stock and 1202.41.80.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
