Sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal, blood or insects; food preparations based on these products
Analysis
Heading 1601 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal, blood or insects; food preparations based on these products. It has 3 tariff lines.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.2% to 3.4% with a median of 3.3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its lines are 1601.00.20 for sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal, blood… (0.8¢/kg), 1601.00.40 for beef in airtight containers (3.4%) and 1601.00.60 for other: other (3.2%).
1 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.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering (311611). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of 3.3% sits at the 57th percentile of the headings in chapter 16.
