Analysis
HTS 5210.59.20 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 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.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 7.8% to 10.4%. The costliest confusion would be with 5210.59.80 (of number 69 or higher number) at 7.8%, a difference of 2.2 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 10% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 52 (71st percentile of 222 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 5210.59.20.20 for sateens (326) and 5210.59.20.90 for other (317). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 29.7%, 3.0 times the general rate.
