Analysis
HTS 1208.90.00 covers flours and meals of oil seeds or oleaginous fruits, other than those of mustard: other under heading 1208 (flours and meals of oil seeds or oleaginous fruits, other than those of mustard).
The general duty rate is 1.4% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 12 (80th percentile of 44 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $140 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Within this group the rate runs from 1.9% to 1.9%. Compared with 1208.10.00 (flours and meals of oil seeds or oleaginous fruits, other than those…), which pays 1.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 0.5 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 1.4%. 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.
