Analysis
Heading 3506 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 5 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 3506.10.10 (animal glue, including casein glue, but not…).
1 of its 5 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (20%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 2.1%.
The largest subheadings are 3506.10 (products suitable for use as glues or adhesives…, 2 lines), 3506.91 (adhesives based on polymers of headings 3901 to…, 2 lines) and 3506.99 (unnamed, 1 line).
