Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 17.5%. 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 17.5% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 22 (97th percentile of 39 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,750 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Within this group the rate runs from 17% to 17.5%. Compared with 2202.99.10 (chocolate milk drink), which pays 17%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 0.5 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 2.0 times the general rate.
