Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 131.8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2008.11.61 (other: other), at 131.8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 130.9 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 0.9% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 20 (15th percentile of 107 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $90 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 38.9 times the general rate.
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 0.9%. 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.
