- 29 of 31 lines under heading 2917 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- No 8-digit line under heading 2917 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2917 11 90 (Oxalic acid, its salts and esters › Other); 2917 13 90 (Azelaic acid, sebacic acid, their salts and esters › Other); 2917 19 90 (Other › Other); 2917 34 00 (Aromatic polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids); 2917 39 90 (Other › Other).
