2906
Cyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Analysis
Heading 2906 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers cyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 12 eight-digit tariff lines, with 12 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
3 of its 12 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (25%) and 9 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 2906.12.00 (cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols and…) and 2906.19.30 (other: terpineols).
The largest subheadings are 2906.29 (other, 4 lines), 2906.19 (other, 3 lines), 2906.13 (sterols and inositols, 2 lines) and 2906.11 (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.
