Common questions

What is HTS code 2918?
HTS heading 2918 covers carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and 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 60 tariff lines.
What is the duty rate for HTS 2918?
General duty rates from 1% to 6.5%, with 11 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 2918 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.
