Aldehydes, whether or not with other oxygen function; cyclic polymers of aldehydes; paraformaldehyde: paraformaldehyde
Analysis
HTS 2912.60.00 covers aldehydes, whether or not with other oxygen function; cyclic polymers of aldehydes; paraformaldehyde: paraformaldehyde under heading 2912 (aldehydes, whether or not with other oxygen function; cyclic polymers of aldehydes…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 5.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2912.50.10 (cyclic polymers of aldehydes: metaldehyde) at duty-free, a difference of 5.1 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.1%. 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.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 32.5%, 6.4 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 5.1% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 29 (46th percentile of 1050 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $510 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
