3206

Analysis

Heading 3206 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other coloring matter; preparations as specified in note 3 to this chapter, other than those of heading 3203, 3204 or 3205; inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores, whether or not chemically defined. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 12 eight-digit tariff lines, with 16 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 3206.49.20 (preparations based on iron oxides) and 3206.50.00 (inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores).

1 of its 12 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (8%) and 11 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 3.7%.

The largest subheadings are 3206.49 (other, 6 lines), 3206.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 3206.19 (unnamed, 1 line) and 3206.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing (325130). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
