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 2.4%. 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.
The general duty rate is 2.4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 15 (53rd percentile of 37 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $240 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 27%, 11.2 times the general rate.
The other line in the same group is 1505.00.10 (wool grease, crude, 1.3¢/kg).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
