2825

Analysis

Heading 2825 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts; other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 16 eight-digit tariff lines, with 19 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

3 of its 16 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (19%) and 13 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.5%. The median line pays 3.7%.

The spread of 5.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.5%, applies to 2825.30.00 (vanadium oxides and hydroxides) and 2825.90.30 (other: tungsten oxides).

The largest subheadings are 2825.90 (other, 6 lines), 2825.50 (copper oxides and hydroxides, 3 lines), 2825.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2825.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of 3.7% sits at the 67th percentile of the headings in chapter 28.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing (325180) and Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing (325130). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
