Analysis
HTS 3506.91.10 covers optically clear free-film adhesives and optically clear curable liquid adhesives of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of flat panel… under heading 3506 (prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 2.1% to 6.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 3506.10.10 (animal glue, including casein glue, but not including fish glue), at 6.5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6.5 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 50% of the 14 tariff lines in chapter 35. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 3506.10.10 (animal glue, including casein glue, but not including fish…, 6.5%), 3506.10.50 (products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for…, 2.1%), 3506.91.50 (adhesives based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913 or on…, 2.1%) and 3506.99.00 (other: other, 2.1%).
