Analysis
HTS 5702.32.20 covers of man-made textile materials: other (665) under heading 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked, whether or not…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 8%. Compared with 5702.91.20 (certified hand-loomed and folklore products), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 7 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 7% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 57 (95th percentile of 50 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $700 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 7%. 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 8.6 times the general rate.
