Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair
Analysis
HTS 5408.34.05 covers containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair under heading 5408 (woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 12%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5408.34.90 (other: other), at 12%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 12 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 5408.34.05.10 for not combed (410) and 5408.34.05.20 for combed (410). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 11% of the 123 tariff lines in chapter 54. 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.
