2913.00

Analysis

Subheading 2913.00 covers halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of products of heading 2912, within heading 2913. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.

1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 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 2913.00.40 (aromatic: other) and 2913.00.50 (halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated…).

The US splits it as follows: 2913.00.20 for 4-Fluoro-3-phenoxybenzaldehyde (duty-free), 2913.00.40 for aromatic: other (5.5%) and 2913.00.50 for halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of… (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.
