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, 2916.13.00.00, specifically covers methacrylic acid and its corresponding salts. Methacrylic acid is a crucial organic compound characterized by its unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid structure, featuring a vinyl group directly attached to the carboxyl group and a methyl substituent. Its salts, such as sodium methacrylate, are also included within this classification. These substances serve as important monomers and intermediates in the production of various polymers and resins, most notably polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic glass.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is key for accurate classification. While 2916.11.00.00 covers acrylic acid and its salts, this heading focuses exclusively on the methacrylic acid derivative, which possesses an additional methyl group on the alpha-carbon. Furthermore, other sibling categories like 2916.12 and 2916.14 are designated for esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, respectively. Therefore, 2916.13.00.00 specifically isolates the free acid and its inorganic or organic salts, excluding the esterified forms.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification within 2916.13.00.00 is definitive for methacrylic acid and its direct salts. Practical classification considerations would involve verifying the chemical identity of the imported substance, ensuring it aligns with the molecular structure of methacrylic acid or its salt form, and confirming it is not an ester or other derivative covered by a distinct HTS code.
