3827
Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included
Analysis
Heading 3827 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included. It divides into 19 six-digit subheadings and 20 eight-digit tariff lines, with 20 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 20 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.7% to 6.5% with a median of 3.7%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 3827.90 (other, 2 lines), 3827.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 3827.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 3827.13 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 3.7% sits at the 39th percentile of the headings in chapter 38.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
