Analysis
HTS 2938.90.00 covers glycosides, natural or reproduced by synthesis, and their salts, ethers, esters and other derivatives: other under heading 2938 (glycosides, natural or reproduced by synthesis, and their salts, ethers, esters and other…).
Within this group the rate runs from 1.5% to 1.5%. Compared with 2938.10.00 (rutoside (Rutin) and its derivatives), which pays 1.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 3.7% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 29 (34th percentile of 1050 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $370 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 50%, 13.5 times the general rate.
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 3.7%. 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.
