Analysis
Subheading 2916.39 covers other, within heading 2916. 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 12 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 2916.39.03 (benzoic anhydride;tert-Butyl…) and 2916.39.06 (other: cinnamic acid).
3 of its 12 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (25%) and 9 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 6.5%.
Its 12 lines start with 2916.39.03 (benzoic anhydride;tert-Butyl…), 2916.39.04 (m-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid; andp-Sulfobenzoic…), 2916.39.06 (other: cinnamic acid) and 2916.39.08 (4-Chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid); the full list is in the table below.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199) and Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (325412). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
