The general duty rate is 1.4% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 05 (83rd percentile of 20 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $140 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
It is the only US line under subheading 0501.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 0501.00 points straight here.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 1.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
