Common questions
- What is HTS code 2620?
- HTS heading 2620 covers slag, ash and residues (other than from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing arsenic, metals or their compounds. It sits in Chapter 26 (ores, slag and ash) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 36 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 2620?
- General duty rate of 5%, with 29 duty-free lines; 6 lines carry a specific or compound duty. 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 2620 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.
