2909.50
Ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Analysis
Subheading 2909.50 covers ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, within heading 2909. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 5 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4.8% to 5.5% with a median of 5.5%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 2909.50.10 for ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols and their halogenated… (5.5%), 2909.50.20 for guaiacol and its derivatives (5.5%), 2909.50.40 for odoriferous or flavoring compounds (4.8%), 2909.50.45 for products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI (5.5%) and 2909.50.50 for other: other (5.5%).
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.
