Chapter 57
Textiles and textile articles
Chapter 57 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sits in section XI (textiles and textile articles). It has 5 headings and 50 eight-digit tariff lines.
The spread of 8 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here.
20 of its 50 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (40%) and 30 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 8%. The median line pays 3.45%.
The most finely divided heading is 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked…), with 30 lines; fine division usually means the rates or the trade statistics differ enough to be worth separating.
The heading with the highest median rate is 5703 (carpets and other textile floor coverings (including turf), tufted, whether or…) at 6%.
Its headings are 5701 (carpets and other textile floor…), 5702 (carpets and other textile floor…), 5703 (carpets and other textile floor…), 5704 (carpets and other textile floor…) and 5705 (other carpets and other textile floor…).
