What is this HTS code?

This is a US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code that classifies "Iron oxides and hydroxides; earth colors containing 70 percent or more by weight of combined iron evaluated as Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:". It determines base duty rates for imports; additional duties may apply by country of origin.

Does origin affect duty?

Yes. General and Special rates apply by trade agreement and origin. Additional duties (Section 301, 232, IEEPA) are origin-specific. Use the tariff calculator or resolve API with an origin to see full duty.
