2102
Yeasts (active or inactive); other single-cell microorganisms, dead (but not including vaccines of heading 3002); prepared baking powders
Analysis
Heading 2102 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers yeasts (active or inactive); other single-cell microorganisms, dead (but not including vaccines of heading 3002); prepared baking powders. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 5 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.4 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.4%, applies to 2102.10.00 (yeasts (active or inactive); other single-cell…) and 2102.20.20 (yeasts (except dried brewers' yeast)).
2 of its 5 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (40%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.4%. The median line pays 3.2%.
Its median rate of 3.2% sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 21.
The largest subheadings are 2102.20 (inactive yeasts; other single-cell…, 3 lines), 2102.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2102.30 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (311999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
