Chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides: calcium chloride
Analysis
HTS 2827.20.00 covers chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides: calcium chloride under heading 2827 (chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides…).
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.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 5.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2827.49.50 (other: other) at 5.5%, a difference of 5.5 points on the customs value.
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.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325180 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 705 US establishments employing 41,447 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
