US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in metric tons.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 1.9%. The costliest confusion would be with 2308.00.93 (screenings, scalpings, chaff or scourings, ground, or not ground, of…) at duty-free, a difference of 1.4 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 1.4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 23 (61st percentile of 23 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $140 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
For statistics it divides in two: 2308.00.98.20 for citrus pulp pellets and 2308.00.98.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
