3004.50.50

Analysis

HTS 3004.50.50 covers other, containing vitamins or other products of heading 2936: other under heading 3004 (medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 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.

The ten-digit suffixes separate for veterinary use, combined with minerals or other…, vitamin B1, vitamin K1 and combined with minerals or other…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

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.

The other lines in the same group are 3004.50.10 (containing vitamins synthesized wholly or in part from…, duty-free), 3004.50.20 (containing vitamins synthesized wholly or in part from…, duty-free), 3004.50.30 (containing vitamins synthesized wholly or in part from…, duty-free) and 3004.50.40 (containing vitamins synthesized wholly or in part from…, duty-free).
