Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates: clam juice
Analysis
HTS 1603.00.10 covers extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates: clam juice under heading 1603 (extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to duty-free. Compared with 1603.00.90 (extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 8.5 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 8.5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 16 (89th percentile of 108 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $850 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
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 8.5%. 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 4.1 times the general rate.
