Analysis
Subheading 2914.29 covers other, within heading 2914. 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 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (25%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.8%. The median line pays 3.3%.
The US splits it as follows: 2914.29.10 for other: isophorone (4%), 2914.29.30 for camphor: natural (duty-free), 2914.29.31 for camphor: synthetic (2.6%) and 2914.29.50 for other: other (4.8%).
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.
Goods only reach 2914.29 once they fall within heading 2914 (ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
