2201

Analysis

Heading 2201 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers waters, including natural or artificial mineral waters and aerated waters, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter nor flavored; ice and snow. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 2 eight-digit tariff lines, with 2 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

Every one of its 2 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

1 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 2201.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2201.90 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Bottled Water Manufacturing (312112) and Ice Manufacturing (312113). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
