Analysis
Subheading 3503.00 covers gelatin (including gelatin in rectangular (including square) sheets, whether or not surfaceworked or colored) and gelatin derivatives; isinglass; other glues…, within heading 3503. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
The US splits it as follows: 3503.00.10 for gelatin (including gelatin in rectangular (including square) sheets… (1.2¢/kg + 1.5%), 3503.00.20 for valued under 88 cents per kg (1.2¢/kg + 3.2%), 3503.00.40 for valued 88 cents or more per kg (2.8¢/kg + 3.8%) and 3503.00.55 for gelatin (including gelatin in rectangular (including square) sheets… (2.8¢/kg + 3.8%).
4 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
