HTS tariff line · chapter 30
3002.49.00
Vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) and similar products: other
Analysis
HTS 3002.49.00 covers vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) and similar products: other under heading 3002 (human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 3002.49.00.10 for ricin and 3002.49.00.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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.
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.
