Analysis
Subheading 1202.42 covers shelled, whether or not broken, within heading 1202. 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 6 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 6 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 131.8% to 131.8% with a median of 131.8%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 1202.42.10 for described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered… (6.6¢/kg), 1202.42.15 for described in additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter and entered… (6.6¢/kg), 1202.42.20 for dry-blanched: other (131.8%), 1202.42.50 for described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered… (6.6¢/kg), 1202.42.60 for described in additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter and entered… (6.6¢/kg) and 1202.42.90 for other: other (131.8%).
4 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.
