2620.21.00
Leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti-knock compound sludges
Analysis
HTS 2620.21.00 covers leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti-knock compound sludges under heading 2620 (slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in Cu kg.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2620.60.10 (of a kind used only for the extraction of arsenic or the manufacture…), at 5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 97% of the 39 tariff lines in chapter 26. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The ten-digit suffixes separate copper content, lead content, zinc content, silver content and gold content. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
