Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 35% of the 82 tariff lines in chapter 51. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
It is the only US line under subheading 5110.00, 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 5110.00 points straight here.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 20% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 20% duty.
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.
