- What is HTS code 2908?
- HTS heading 2908 covers halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols. It sits in Chapter 29 (organic chemicals) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 21 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 2908?
- General duty rate of 5.5%, with 2 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.
