Manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20 percent or more, calculated on the dry weight
Analysis
HTS 2602.00.00 covers manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20 percent or more, calculated on the dry… under heading 2602 (manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms and Mn kg.
For statistics it divides in two: 2602.00.00.40 for containing less than 47 percent by weight of manganese and 2602.00.00.60 for containing 47 percent or more by weight of manganese. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 97% of the 39 tariff lines in chapter 26 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
It is the only US line under subheading 2602.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 2602.00 points straight here.
