1302.19

Analysis

Subheading 1302.19 covers other, within heading 1302. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.

2 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (67%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 1%. The median line pays duty-free.

The US splits it as follows: 1302.19.21 for poppy straw extract (duty-free), 1302.19.41 for ginseng; substances having anesthetic, prophylactic or therapeutic… (1%) and 1302.19.91 for other: other (duty-free).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products (113210) and Medicinal and Botanical Manufacturing (325411). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

Goods only reach 1302.19 once they fall within heading 1302 (vegetable saps and extracts; pectic substances, pectinates and pectates; agar-agar and…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
