Analysis
Heading 3202 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers synthetic organic tanning substances; inorganic tanning substances; tanning preparations, whether or not containing natural tanning substances; enzymatic preparations for pre-tanning. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 4 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 3202.10.10 (aromatic or modified aromatic) and 3202.10.50 (synthetic organic tanning substances: other).
1 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (25%) and 3 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 5.75%.
The largest subheadings are 3202.10 (synthetic organic tanning substances, 2 lines) and 3202.90 (other, 2 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Surface Active Agent Manufacturing (325613). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
