Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 40% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 40% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 62% of the 13 tariff lines in chapter 50. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 5006.00.10 (containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 313110 (Fiber, Yarn, and Thread Mills), an industry of 250 US establishments employing 18,290 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
