Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formulated into a vaccine for animal prophylaxis
Ricin-based vaccines for veterinary use shift to 3002.13, separating from human-focused human blood products.
If supplied as a diagnostic reagent kit component
Ricin in diagnostic test kits for immunoassay falls under Chapter 38 for reagents, not pure immunological toxins.
If for US goods returned after biotech modification abroad
US-origin ricin processed overseas for re-import may qualify under Chapter 98 for duty-free treatment.
