Acetals and hemiacetals, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Analysis
Subheading 2911.00 covers acetals and hemiacetals, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, within heading 2911. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.3%. The median line pays 2.65%.
The spread of 5.3 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.3%, applies to 2911.00.50 (acetals and hemiacetals, whether or not with…).
The US splits it as follows: 2911.00.10 for 1,1-Bis(1-methylethoxy)cyclohexane (duty-free) and 2911.00.50 for acetals and hemiacetals, whether or not with other oxygen function… (5.3%).
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.
