Analysis
Heading 3812 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers prepared rubber accelerators; compound plasticizers for rubber or plastics, not elsewhere specified or included; antioxidizing preparations and other compound stabilizers for rubber or plastics. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 10 eight-digit tariff lines, with 10 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 3812.10.10 (containing any aromatic or modified aromatic…) and 3812.20.10 (containing any aromatic or modified aromatic…).
2 of its 10 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (20%) and 8 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 5.75%.
The largest subheadings are 3812.39 (other, 5 lines), 3812.10 (prepared rubber accelerators, 2 lines), 3812.20 (compound plasticizers for rubber or plastics, 2 lines) and 3812.31 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 5.75% sits at the 68th percentile of the headings in chapter 38.
