Analysis
Subheading 1902.11 covers containing eggs, within heading 1902. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 6.4 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.4%, applies to 1902.11.40 (containing eggs: other, including pasta packaged…).
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.4%. The median line pays 3.2%.
The US splits it as follows: 1902.11.20 for containing eggs: exclusively pasta (duty-free) and 1902.11.40 for containing eggs: other, including pasta packaged with sauce… (6.4%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Dry Pasta, Dough, and Flour Mixes Manufacturing from Purchased Flour (311824) and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (311999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
