2920

Analysis

Heading 2920 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers esters of other inorganic acids of nonmetals (excluding esters of hydrogen halides) and their salts; their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 13 eight-digit tariff lines, with 14 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 2920.19.10 (o,O-Dimethyl-O-(4-nitro-m-tolyl)phosphoro-…) and 2920.19.40 (aromatic: other).

1 of its 13 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (8%) and 12 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 3.7%.

The largest subheadings are 2920.19 (other, 3 lines), 2920.90 (other, 3 lines), 2920.11 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2920.21 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of 3.7% sits at the 34th percentile of the headings in chapter 29.

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.
