Analysis
HTS 5702.39.20 covers of other textile materials: other under heading 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked, whether or not…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 8%. The costliest confusion would be with 5702.32.10 (wilton (including brussels) and velvet (including tapestry) floor…) at 8%, a difference of 4.4 points on the customs value.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 16.7 times the general rate.
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 3.6%. 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 5702.39.20.10 for of cotton (369) and 5702.39.20.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The general duty rate is 3.6% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 57 (52nd percentile of 50 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $360 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
