Analysis
HTS 2933.91.00 covers alprazolam (INN), camazepam (INN), chlordiazepoxide (INN), clonazepam (INN), clorazepate, delorazepam (INN), diazepam (INN), estazolam (INN), ethyl loflazepate… under heading 2933 (heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2933.39.61 (products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI) at 6.5%, a difference of 6.5 points on the customs value.
For statistics it divides in two: 2933.91.00.10 for lorazepam (INN); salts thereof and 2933.91.00.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
