The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 91% of the 78 tariff lines in chapter 25, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 2522.10.00 (quicklime, slaked lime and hydraulic lime, other than…, duty-free) and 2522.20.00 (quicklime, slaked lime and hydraulic lime, other than…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 327410 (Lime Manufacturing), an industry of 93 US establishments employing 4,068 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
