5407.94.05

Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

Analysis

HTS 5407.94.05 covers containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair under heading 5407 (woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.

Within this group the rate runs from 12% to 14.9%. Compared with 5407.94.20 (printed: other), which pays 14.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 14.9 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 5407.94.05.10 for not combed (410) and 5407.94.05.20 for combed (410). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 11% of the 123 tariff lines in chapter 54, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.

The other lines in the same group are 5407.94.10 (mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair: other…, 12%) and 5407.94.20 (printed: other, 14.9%).
