Analysis
HTS 2934.10.70 covers 4,5-Dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one; Ethyl 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2- hydroxyiminoacetate; Ethyl 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2- methoxyiminoacetate… under heading 2934 (nucleic acids and their salts, whether or not chemically defined; other heterocyclic…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from 6.5% to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2934.10.90 (other: other) at 6.5%, a difference of 6.5 points on the customs value.
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.
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 other lines in the same group are 2934.10.10 (products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI, 6.5%), 2934.10.20 (aromatic or modified aromatic: other, 6.5%) and 2934.10.90 (other: other, 6.5%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
