Analysis

HTS 3921.90.29 covers combined with textile materials and weighing more than 1.492 kg/m2: other under heading 3921 (other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics).

Within this group the rate runs from 4.2% to 6.5%. Compared with 3921.90.25 (products with textile components in which man-made fibers predominate…), which pays 6.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.1 percentage points.

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 4.4%. 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.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 9.1 times the general rate.

The general duty rate is 4.4% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 39 (42nd percentile of 236 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $440 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
