2914.71.00

Halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives: chlordecone (ISO)

Analysis

HTS 2914.71.00 covers halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives: chlordecone (ISO) under heading 2914 (ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 5.5%. Compared with 2914.79.60 (1-Chloro-5-hexanone), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 14 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 20%, 5.0 times the general rate.
