Analysis
HTS 5111.20.90 covers other, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments: other (410) under heading 5111 (woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 7% to 7%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5111.20.10 (tapestry fabrics and upholstery fabrics of a weight not exceeding 140…), at 7%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 18 percentage points.
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 25%. 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 25% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 51 (93rd percentile of 82 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $2,500 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
