Of a kind used only for the extraction of arsenic or the manufacture of its chemical compounds
Analysis
HTS 2620.60.10 covers of a kind used only for the extraction of arsenic or the manufacture of its chemical compounds under heading 2620 (slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing…).
The general duty rate is 5% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 26 (99th percentile of 39 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $500 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to duty-free, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2620.99.85 (other: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 5.0 times the general rate.
