About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category specifically classifies popcorn, a distinct type of maize (corn) that is characterized by its ability to expand and puff when heated. Unlike other forms of corn classified under heading 1005, popcorn is cultivated for its unique hull structure and internal moisture content, which allows for this characteristic transformation. Its primary intended use is for consumption as a snack food after popping.

Within the "Other" subcategory of corn (1005.90), popcorn is distinguished from other "Other" types of corn (1005.90.40.60) by its specific popping quality and culinary purpose. While both may fall under the broader "other" classification, this sub-division isolates popcorn for its specialized preparation and consumption.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly identifying popcorn based on its intrinsic properties and intended end-use as a distinct product within the broader classification of cereals.
