Analysis

HTS 3808.62.50 covers in packings of a net weight content exceeding 300 g but not exceeding 7.5 kg: other under heading 3808 (insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, antisprouting products and…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 6.5%. Compared with 3808.99.30 (formulated biocides based on 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, or…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5 percentage points.

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.

The general duty rate is 5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 38 (60th percentile of 179 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.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 5.0 times the general rate.
