Analysis
HTS 3925.30.50 covers shutters, blinds (including venetian blinds) and similar articles and parts thereof: other under heading 3925 (builders' ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included).
Within this group the rate runs from 3.3% to 6.3%. Compared with 3925.30.10 (blinds (including venetian blinds)), which pays 3.3%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2 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 5.3%. 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 80%, 15.1 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 5.3% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 39 (51st percentile of 236 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $530 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
