Containing any aromatic or modified aromatic insecticide: other

Analysis

HTS 3808.91.25 covers containing any aromatic or modified aromatic insecticide: other under heading 3808 (insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, antisprouting products and…).

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 5%. The costliest confusion would be with 3808.91.15 (mixtures of N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]-…) at duty-free, a difference of 6.5 points on the customs value.

The general duty rate is 6.5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 38 (86th percentile of 179 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $650 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 6.5%. 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 other lines in the same group are 3808.91.10 (fly ribbons (ribbon fly catchers), 2.8%), 3808.91.15 (mixtures of N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]-…, duty-free), 3808.91.30 (containing an inorganic substance, 5%) and 3808.91.50 (other: other, 5%).
