Analysis
HTS 3004.20.00 covers medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured… under heading 3004 (medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 17 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
The ten-digit suffixes separate for veterinary use, erythromycin, singles or in combination…, tetracycline, singles or in combination…, containing amikacin or its salts, containing azithromycin or its salts and containing clindamycin or its salts and 10 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
