The general duty rate is 5% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 52 (15th percentile of 222 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $500 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

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.
