HTS tariff line · chapter 85
8549.13.00
Sorted by chemical type and not containing lead, cadmium or mercury
Analysis
HTS 8549.13.00 covers sorted by chemical type and not containing lead, cadmium or mercury under heading 8549 (electrical and electronic waste and scrap).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 58% of the 624 tariff lines in chapter 85, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
All 12 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
