2934.20
Compounds containing in the structure a benzothiazole ring-system (whether or not hydrogenated), not further fused
Analysis
Subheading 2934.20 covers compounds containing in the structure a benzothiazole ring-system (whether or not hydrogenated), not further fused, within heading 2934. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 9 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 2934.20.05 (n-tert-Butyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide) and 2934.20.10 (2,2'-Dithiobisbenzothiazole).
1 of its 9 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (11%) and 8 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 6.5%.
Its 9 lines start with 2934.20.05 (n-tert-Butyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide), 2934.20.10 (2,2'-Dithiobisbenzothiazole), 2934.20.15 (2-Mercaptobenzothiazole…) and 2934.20.20 (2-Mercaptobenzothiazole, sodium salt…); the full list is in the table below.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
