Analysis
HTS 4413.00.00 covers densified wood, in blocks, plates, strips or profile shapes under heading 4413 (densified wood, in blocks, plates, strips or profile shapes).
The general duty rate is 3.7% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 44 (75th percentile of 257 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $370 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 50%, 13.5 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 3.7%. 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.
It is the only US line under subheading 4413.00, 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 4413.00 points straight here.
