3606
Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials as specified in note 2 to this chapter
Analysis
Heading 3606 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials as specified in note 2 to this chapter. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 4 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
2 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.9%. The median line pays 2.5%.
The spread of 5.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.9%, applies to 3606.90.30 (ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys).
The largest subheadings are 3606.90 (other, 3 lines) and 3606.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing (325998). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
