2827
Chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides
Analysis
Heading 2827 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides. It divides into 11 six-digit subheadings and 23 eight-digit tariff lines, with 24 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
5 of its 23 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (22%) and 18 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 2827.39.10 (other: of vanadium) and 2827.39.40 (other: of tungsten).
The largest subheadings are 2827.39 (other, 9 lines), 2827.60 (iodides and iodide oxides, 3 lines), 2827.49 (other, 2 lines) and 2827.59 (other, 2 lines).
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). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
