Analysis
Subheading 2104.20 covers homogenized composite food preparations, within heading 2104. 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.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.5% to 6.4% with a median of 4.45%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 2104.20.10 for put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or for dietetic… (2.5%) and 2104.20.50 for put up for retail sale as food suitable for young children (6.4%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Specialty Canning (311422) and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (311999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
