5210.19.20

Satin weave or twill weave, other than 3-thread or 4-thread twill or cross twill

Analysis

HTS 5210.19.20 covers satin weave or twill weave, other than 3-thread or 4-thread twill or cross twill under heading 5210 (woven fabrics of cotton, containing less than 85 percent by weight of cotton, mixed…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.

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 9.1%. 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.

Within this group the rate runs from 8.4% to 10.2%. Compared with 5210.19.80 (of number 69 or higher number), which pays 10.2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1.1 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 5210.19.20.20 for sateens (326) and 5210.19.20.90 for other (317). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

The general duty rate is 9.1% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 52 (55th percentile of 222 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $910 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
