About HTS 3202.10.10.00

HTS code 3202.10.10.00 classifies imports of: Aromatic or modified aromatic. This line sits within Chapter 32 (Tanning extracts of vegetable origin; tannins and their salts, ethers, esters and other derivatives:), Section VI (Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: kg. Getting the classification right is the single most important step in import compliance — a wrong code can mean overpayment of duty, shipment delays, or penalties at the border.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 3202.10.10.00 is 6.5%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 15.4¢/kg + 48.5% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff.

Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost. Always verify the classification with a licensed customs broker before committing to a supply contract — this page is a research tool, not a customs ruling.
