Analysis
HTS 2914.29.10 covers other: isophorone under heading 2914 (ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4.8%. The costliest confusion would be with 2914.29.30 (camphor: natural) at duty-free, a difference of 4 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 4%. 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 general duty rate is 4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 29 (41st percentile of 1050 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $400 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The other lines in the same group are 2914.29.30 (camphor: natural, duty-free), 2914.29.31 (camphor: synthetic, 2.6%) and 2914.29.50 (other: other, 4.8%).
