Described in additional U.S. note 23 to chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions
Analysis
HTS 1901.90.34 covers described in additional U.S. note 23 to chapter 4 and entered pursuant to its provisions under heading 1901 (malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 16%. The costliest confusion would be with 1901.90.25 (puddings ready for immediate consumption without further preparation) at duty-free, a difference of 10 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. 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 10% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 19 (52nd percentile of 59 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 20%, 2.0 times the general rate.
