1901.90.67

Described in additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions

Analysis

HTS 1901.90.67 covers described in additional U.S. note 7 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions under heading 1901 (malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 16%. Compared with 1901.90.25 (puddings ready for immediate consumption without further preparation), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 10 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under the Colombia TPA, KORUS, the Oman FTA, the Panama TPA, the Peru TPA and USMCA can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%.

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.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311514 (Dry, Condensed, and Evaporated Dairy Product Manufacturing), an industry of 174 US establishments employing 17,210 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
