HS Code 29241980: Acyclic amide derivatives; salts thereof; nesoi

The HS Code 29241980 refers to a specific category of products known as acyclic amide derivatives and their salts, which are not elsewhere specified or included (nesoi). Acyclic amides are organic compounds that contain an amide group (-CONH2) and do not have any cyclic structure. These derivatives and salts are used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and manufacturing.

The MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate for products falling under HS Code 29241980 is 6.5%. This means that whenever a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it must apply the same duty rate of 6.5% to the imports of these goods from all its trading partners. This ensures fair and equal treatment for all countries in terms of trade.

The quantity unit for measuring imports and exports of products under HS Code 29241980 is kilograms (KG). This unit of measurement allows for accurate tracking and reporting of the volume of these products being traded internationally.

There are several special tariff preference programs applicable to imports of products falling under HS Code 29241980. These programs provide preferential treatment in terms of duty rates or duty-free treatment for specific countries or regions. Some of these programs include:

• Free Trade Agreement (FTA): Imports from countries that have a free trade agreement with the importing country are eligible for duty-free treatment. Examples include Australia, Canada (under NAFTA), Chile, and Singapore.
• Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA): Imports from eligible African countries receive duty-free treatment under this program, promoting economic development and trade in the region.
• Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI): Certain Caribbean countries are granted duty-free treatment for their exports to the importing country.
• Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA): Countries in the Andean region, such as Colombia and Peru, receive preferential duty rates for their exports of products under this program.
• Agreement on Trade in Pharmaceutical Products: This agreement provides duty-free treatment for imports of pharmaceutical products, including those falling under HS Code 29241980.

When it comes to the United States, the data shows that Puerto Rico is the main importing state for products under HS Code 29241980. It is important to note that Puerto Rico is considered a separate customs territory from the mainland United States. Additionally, North Carolina is also a significant importing state for these products.

HS Code 29241980 covers a range of acyclic amide derivatives and their salts, which are used in various industries. The duty rate for these products is 6.5% under the MFN principle. However, there are several special tariff preference programs that provide duty-free treatment or preferential rates for specific countries or regions. Understanding the HS Code and its associated data helps facilitate international trade and ensures fair treatment for all trading partners.
