HTS 2942.00.03 covers [2,2'-Thiobis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-n-butyl)- phenolato)(2,1)]-O,O',S-(1-butanamine), nickel II under heading 2942 (other organic compounds).
Within this group the rate runs from 3.7% to 6.5%. Compared with 2942.00.35 (other: other), which pays 6.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 6.5 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
