Prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included
Analysis
Heading 3824 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included. It divides into 17 six-digit subheadings and 39 eight-digit tariff lines, with 48 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 3824.40.10 (containing 5 percent or more by weight of one or…) and 3824.82.10 (chlorinated but not otherwise halogenated).
7 of its 39 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (18%) and 32 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 5%.
The largest subheadings are 3824.99 (other, 20 lines), 3824.40 (prepared additives for cements, mortars or…, 3 lines), 3824.82 (containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)…, 2 lines) and 3824.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
