Analysis
HTS 2620.60.90 covers containing arsenic, mercury, thallium or their mixtures, of a kind used for the extraction of arsenic or those metalsor for the manufacture of their chemical… under heading 2620 (slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing…).
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
