Analysis
Subheading 1806.90 covers other, within heading 1806. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 17 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 17 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.5% to 6% with a median of 3.5%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
9 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.
Its 17 lines start with 1806.90.01 (described in general note 15 of the tariff…), 1806.90.05 (described in additional U.S. note 10 to chapter 4…), 1806.90.08 (containing less than 21 percent by weight of milk…) and 1806.90.10 (other: other); the full list is in the table below.
