Analysis
HTS 2926.90.50 covers other: other under heading 2926 (nitrile-function compounds). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 6.5%. Compared with 2926.90.48 (other: other), which pays 6.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 6.5 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 2926.90.50.10 for malononitrile and 2926.90.50.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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.
