Analysis
HTS 2106.90.78 covers described in additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17 and entered pursuant to its provisions under heading 2106 (food preparations not elsewhere specified or included).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 10%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2106.90.39 (artificially sweetened cough drops), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 10 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. 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 10% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 21 (71st percentile of 51 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 20%, 2.0 times the general rate.
