Analysis

HTS 4602.90.00 covers basketwork, wickerwork and other articles, made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601; articles of loofah: other under heading 4602 (basketwork, wickerwork and other articles, made directly to shape from plaiting materials…).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 18%. Compared with 4602.19.25 (of palm leaf: other), which pays 18%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 14.5 percentage points.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 80%, 22.9 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 3.5%. 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 general duty rate is 3.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 46 (47th percentile of 48 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $350 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
