Analysis
HTS 3504.00.10 covers peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed… under heading 3504 (peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not…).
The general duty rate is 5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 35 (82nd percentile of 14 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $500 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
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 5%. 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.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 4% to 4%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 3504.00.50 (peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their…), at 4%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 1 percentage points.
