Analysis
HTS 2906.29.30 covers 1,1-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)- 2,2,2-trichloro-ethanol (Dicofol); andp-Nitrobenzyl alcohol under heading 2906 (cyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 5.5% to 5.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2906.29.60 (other: other), at 5.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5.5 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 2906.29.10 (odoriferous or flavoring compounds: phenethyl alcohol, 5.5%), 2906.29.20 (odoriferous or flavoring compounds: other, 5.5%) and 2906.29.60 (other: other, 5.5%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
