Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up in the form of kits, other than those of heading 3006; certified reference materials
Analysis
Heading 3822 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up in the form of kits, other than those of heading 3006; certified reference…. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 5 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 12th percentile of the headings in chapter 38.
The largest subheadings are 3822.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 3822.12 (unnamed, 1 line), 3822.13 (unnamed, 1 line) and 3822.19 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing (325413). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
