Analysis
HTS 5102.19.20 covers not processed in any manner beyond the degreased or carbonized condition: hair of the camel under heading 5102 (fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed).
The general rate is 5¢/clean kg, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5¢/clean kg. 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 other lines in the same group are 5102.19.60 (not processed in any manner beyond the degreased or…, 0.4%), 5102.19.80 (fur, prepared for hatters' use, duty-free) and 5102.19.90 (other: other, 4.9¢/kg + 4%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112420 (Goat Farming), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
