The general duty rate is 4.2% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 28 (82nd percentile of 274 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $420 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 2% to 3.1%. The costliest confusion would be with 2816.40.20 (oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, of strontium or barium: of barium) at 2%, a difference of 2.2 points on the customs value.
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 4.2%. 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%, 6.0 times the general rate.
