2001
Vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid
Analysis
Heading 2001 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 14 eight-digit tariff lines, with 14 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 10.4 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 14%, applies to 2001.90.60 (other: other).
None of its 14 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.6% to 14% with a median of 8.1%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
3 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.
The largest subheadings are 2001.90 (other, 13 lines) and 2001.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Fruit and Vegetable Canning (311421). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
