Other: other, including pasta packaged with sauce preparations
Analysis
HTS 1902.19.40 covers other: other, including pasta packaged with sauce preparations under heading 1902 (pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed (with meat or other substances) or otherwise…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 6.4%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 1902.19.20 (other: exclusively pasta), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6.4 percentage points.
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 6.4%. 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 6.4% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 19 (28th percentile of 59 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $640 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
