3-Aminocrotonic acid, methyl ester; and (R)-α-Amino-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1- acetic acid

Analysis

HTS 2922.49.60 covers 3-Aminocrotonic acid, methyl ester; and (R)-α-Amino-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1- acetic acid under heading 2922 (oxygen-function amino-compounds).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 6.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2922.49.37 (other: other), at 6.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6.5 percentage points.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
