5212

Analysis

Heading 5212 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other woven fabrics of cotton. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 20 eight-digit tariff lines, with 93 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

The spread of 16.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 16.5%, applies to 5212.11.10 (containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool…) and 5212.12.10 (containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool…).

3 of its 20 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (15%) and 17 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 16.5%. The median line pays 7.8%.

The largest subheadings are 5212.11 (unbleached, 2 lines), 5212.12 (bleached, 2 lines), 5212.13 (dyed, 2 lines) and 5212.14 (of yarns of different colors, 2 lines).

Its median rate of 7.8% sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 52.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Broadwoven Fabric Mills (313210). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
