2936

Analysis

Heading 2936 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers provitamins and vitamins, natural or reproduced by synthesis (including natural concentrates), derivatives thereof used primarily as vitamins, and intermixtures of the foregoing, whether or not in any solvent. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 13 eight-digit tariff lines, with 18 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

Every one of its 13 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 13th percentile of the headings in chapter 29.

The largest subheadings are 2936.29 (other vitamins and their derivatives, 4 lines), 2936.21 (unnamed, 1 line), 2936.22 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2936.23 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Medicinal and Botanical Manufacturing (325411) and Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (325412). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
