Analysis
HTS 3002.41.00 covers vaccines for human medicine under heading 3002 (human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses…).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 93% of the 58 tariff lines in chapter 30 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325414 (Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing), an industry of 441 US establishments employing 75,198 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 10 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
