Other yarn, single, with a twist exceeding 50 turns/m: other (606)
Analysis
HTS 5402.59.01 covers other yarn, single, with a twist exceeding 50 turns/m: other (606) under heading 5402 (synthetic filament yarn (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8.8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5402.49.11 (colored multifilament, of modacrylic, untwisted or with a twist of…), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8 percentage points.
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 8%. 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.
The general duty rate is 8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 54 (32nd percentile of 123 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $800 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 50%, 6.2 times the general rate.
