Analysis

HTS 2910.50.00 covers epoxides, epoxyalcohols, epoxyphenols and epoxyethers, with a three-membered ring, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives: endrin under heading 2910 (epoxides, epoxyalcohols, epoxyphenols and epoxyethers, with a three-membered ring, and…).

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

Rates on the nearby lines range from 3.7% to 5.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2910.30.00 (1-Chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (Epichlorohydrin)) at 3.7%, a difference of 1.1 points on the customs value.

The general duty rate is 4.8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 29 (44th percentile of 1050 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $480 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 31%, 6.5 times the general rate.
