Analysis
Heading 3002 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; antisera, other blood fractions and immunological products, whether or not modified or obtained by means of biotechnological…. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 11 eight-digit tariff lines, with 21 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 11 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.
The largest subheadings are 3002.90 (other, 2 lines), 3002.12 (unnamed, 1 line), 3002.13 (unnamed, 1 line) and 3002.14 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing (325414) and In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing (325413). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 47th percentile of the headings in chapter 30.
