2803.00.00

Analysis

HTS 2803.00.00 covers carbon (carbon blacks and other forms of carbon not elsewhere specified or included) under heading 2803 (carbon (carbon blacks and other forms of carbon not elsewhere specified or included)). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

For statistics it divides in two: 2803.00.00.10 for carbon black and 2803.00.00.50 for other. 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 29% of the 274 tariff lines in chapter 28 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

It is the only US line under subheading 2803.00, 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 2803.00 points straight here.
