Containing added flavoring matter whether or not containing added coloring: other
Analysis
HTS 1701.91.80 covers containing added flavoring matter whether or not containing added coloring: other under heading 1701 (cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form).
The general duty rate is 5.1% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 17 (19th percentile of 32 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $510 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 5.1%. 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.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 6% to 6%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 1701.91.54 (described in additional U.S. note 8 to this chapter and entered…), at 6%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 0.9 percentage points.
