Put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or for dietetic purposes
Analysis
HTS 1602.10.10 covers put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or for dietetic purposes under heading 1602 (other prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood or insects).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 6.4%. Compared with 1602.90.91 (other, including preparations of blood of any animal: other), which pays 6.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.5 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30%, 15.8 times the general rate.
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 1.9%. 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 1.9% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 16 (49th percentile of 108 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $190 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
