Analysis

HTS 3307.49.00 covers preparations for perfuming or deodorizing rooms, including odoriferous preparations used during religious rites: other under heading 3307 (pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations…).

The general duty rate is 6% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 33 (99th percentile of 41 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $600 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Within this group the rate runs from 2.4% to 5.8%. Compared with 3307.41.00 ("Agarbatti" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by…), which pays 2.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3.6 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 6%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 73.2%, 12.2 times the general rate.
