5208
Woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m²
Analysis
Heading 5208 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers woven fabrics of cotton, containing 85 percent or more by weight of cotton, weighing not more than 200 g/m². It divides into 19 six-digit subheadings and 62 eight-digit tariff lines, with 137 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 14.7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 14.7%, applies to 5208.41.80 (of number 69 or higher number (218)) and 5208.42.50 (of number 69 or higher number (218)).
3 of its 62 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (5%) and 59 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 14.7%. The median line pays 9%.
The largest subheadings are 5208.59 (other fabrics, 5 lines), 5208.11 (plain weave, weighing not more than 100 g/m², 4 lines), 5208.19 (other fabrics, 4 lines) and 5208.29 (other fabrics, 4 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Broadwoven Fabric Mills (313210) and Narrow Fabric Mills and Schiffli Machine Embroidery (313220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
