Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. 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 10% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 51 (84th percentile of 82 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The other lines in the same group are 5111.11.20 (tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not…, 7%) and 5111.11.70 (other: other, 25%).
