Common questions

What is HTS code 2917?
HTS heading 2917 covers polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives. It sits in Chapter 29 (organic chemicals) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 36 tariff lines.
What is the duty rate for HTS 2917?
General duty rates from 3.1% to 6.5%, with 3 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 2917 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.
