2904
Sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not halogenated
Analysis
Heading 2904 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not halogenated. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 31 eight-digit tariff lines, with 31 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
1 of its 31 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (3%) and 30 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.5%. The median line pays 5.5%.
The spread of 5.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.5%, applies to 2904.10.04 (2-Anthracenesulfonic acid) and 2904.10.08 (benzenesulfonyl chloride).
The largest subheadings are 2904.99 (other, 9 lines), 2904.20 (derivatives containing only nitro or only nitroso…, 8 lines), 2904.10 (derivatives containing only sulfo groups, their…, 7 lines) and 2904.31 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
