The general duty rate is 5.8% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 54 (12th percentile of 123 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $580 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.8%. 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.
Within this group the rate runs from 6.9% to 6.9%. Compared with 5405.00.30 (artificial monofilament of 67 decitex or more and of which no…), which pays 6.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1.1 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 7.8 times the general rate.
