3813.00

Analysis

Subheading 3813.00 covers preparations and charges for fire extinguishers; charged fire-extinguishing grenades, within heading 3813. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.

1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.7%. The median line pays 1.85%.

The US splits it as follows: 3813.00.10 for consisting wholly of inorganic substances (duty-free) and 3813.00.50 for preparations and charges for fire extinguishers; charged… (3.7%).

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.

Goods only reach 3813.00 once they fall within heading 3813 (). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
