Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 7.5%. 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 7.5% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 56 (79th percentile of 51 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $750 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 81%, 10.8 times the general rate.
