Analysis
Heading 5404 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers synthetic monofilament of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like (for example, artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5…. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 6 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.9%, applies to 5404.11.00 (monofilament: elastomeric) and 5404.12.10 (not over 254 mm in length).
1 of its 6 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (17%) and 5 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.9%. The median line pays 6.9%.
Its median rate of 6.9% sits at the 15th percentile of the headings in chapter 54.
The largest subheadings are 5404.12 (other, of polypropylene, 2 lines), 5404.19 (other, 2 lines), 5404.11 (unnamed, 1 line) and 5404.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
