5515

Analysis

Heading 5515 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 13 eight-digit tariff lines, with 67 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

The spread of 25 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 25%, applies to 5515.13.05 (containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool…) and 5515.99.05 (containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool…).

2 of its 13 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (15%) and 11 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 25%. The median line pays 12%.

The largest subheadings are 5515.99 (other, 3 lines), 5515.13 (mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal…, 2 lines), 5515.22 (mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal…, 2 lines) and 5515.11 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Broadwoven Fabric Mills (313210). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
