2908
Halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols
Analysis
Heading 2908 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 21 eight-digit tariff lines, with 21 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
2 of its 21 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (10%) and 19 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 2908.11.00 (pentachlorophenol (ISO)) and 2908.19.10 (6-Chloro-m-cresol [OH=1];m-Chlorophenol; and…).
The largest subheadings are 2908.99 (other, 11 lines), 2908.19 (other, 7 lines), 2908.11 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2908.91 (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.
Its median rate of 5.5% sits at the 55th percentile of the headings in chapter 29.
