The general duty rate is 5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 28 (88th percentile of 274 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $500 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 5.0 times the general rate.
