2930.90.42
O,O-Dimethyl-S-methyl carbamoyl- methyl phosphorodithioate; and Malathion
Analysis
HTS 2930.90.42 covers o,O-Dimethyl-S-methyl carbamoyl- methyl phosphorodithioate; and Malathion under heading 2930 (organo-sulfur compounds).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 6.5%. Compared with 2930.90.43 (other: other), which pays 6.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 6.5 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30.5% duty.
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.
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 concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
