3002.90.52

Analysis

HTS 3002.90.52 covers other: other under heading 3002 (human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

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.

The ten-digit suffixes separate whole human blood and antiallergenic preparations. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

All 10 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
