Analysis

HTS 5407.52.05 covers measuring less than 77 cm in width or less than 77 cm between selvages, the thread count of which per cm (treating multiple (folded) or cabled yarns as single… under heading 5407 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials…).

The general rate is 18.9¢/kg + 17.6%, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.

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 18.9¢/kg + 17.6%. 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.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills), an industry of 234 US establishments employing 13,276 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
