Analysis
HTS 3404.90.51 covers other: other under heading 3404 (artificial waxes and prepared waxes). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
For statistics it divides in two: 3404.90.51.10 for of chemically modified lignite and 3404.90.51.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 41% of the 41 tariff lines in chapter 34, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
