Analysis
HTS 2816.40.20 covers oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, of strontium or barium: of barium under heading 2816 (hydroxide and peroxide of magnesium; oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, of strontium or…).
Within this group the rate runs from 3.1% to 4.2%. Compared with 2816.40.10 (oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, of strontium or barium: of strontium), which pays 4.2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 28 (41st percentile of 274 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $200 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
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 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 other lines in the same group are 2816.10.00 (hydroxide and peroxide of magnesium, 3.1%) and 2816.40.10 (oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, of strontium or barium…, 4.2%).
