Analysis
HTS 2907.19.61 covers 2-tert-Butylethylphenol; 6-tert-Butyl-2,4-xylenol; and Xylenols and their salts under heading 2907 (phenols; phenol-alcohols).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 4.2% to 5.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2907.19.80 (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 2907.19.10 (other: alkylcresols, 5.5%), 2907.19.20 (other: alkylphenols, 5.5%), 2907.19.40 (other: thymol, 4.2%) and 2907.19.80 (other: other, 5.5%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325194 (Cyclic Crude, Intermediate, and Gum and Wood Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 68 US establishments employing 5,542 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
