Analysis
HTS 4206.00.90 covers articles of gut (other than silkworm gut), of goldbeater's skin, of bladders or of tendons: other under heading 4206 (articles of gut (other than silkworm gut), of goldbeater's skin, of bladders or of tendons).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 3.5% to 3.9%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 4206.00.19 (of catgut: other), at 3.9%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 3.9 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 10% of the 88 tariff lines in chapter 42. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 4206.00.13 (if imported for use in the manufacture of sterile surgical…, 3.5%) and 4206.00.19 (of catgut: other, 3.9%).
