Analysis
HTS 2934.92.00 covers other: other fentanyls and their derivatives under heading 2934 (nucleic acids and their salts, whether or not chemically defined; other heterocyclic…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 6.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2934.99.70 (morpholinoethyl chloride hydrochloride…), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6.5 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 6.5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 29 (83rd percentile of 1050 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $650 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 6.5%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 30.5%, 4.7 times the general rate.
