Analysis
HTS 5407.61.91 covers wholly of polyester, of single yarns meas- uring not less than 75 decitex but not more than 80 decitex, having 24 filaments per yarn and with a twist of 900 or… under heading 5407 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials…).
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 14.9%. 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 14.9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 54 (85th percentile of 123 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,490 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 81%, 5.4 times the general rate.
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.
