Common questions
- What is HTS code 2846?
- HTS heading 2846 covers compounds, inorganic or organic, of rare-earth metals, of yttrium or of scandium, or of mixtures of these metals. It sits in Chapter 28 (inorganic chemicals) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 11 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 2846?
- General duty rates from 3.7% to 5.5%, with 6 duty-free lines. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
- How many digits does a full HTS code have?
- US import entries require the full 10-digit HTS code. Heading 2846 is the first four digits — the remaining six narrow it down to the specific product, which is what determines the duty rate you actually pay.
