Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 350%. The costliest confusion would be with 2401.30.70 (other: other) at 350%, a difference of 350 points on the customs value.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 57% of the 35 tariff lines in chapter 24 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
