Analysis
HTS 5702.92.10 covers woven, but not made on a power-driven loom (665) under heading 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not tufted or flocked, whether or not…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5702.32.10 (wilton (including brussels) and velvet (including tapestry) floor…), at 8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5.3 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 14.8 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.7%. 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 general duty rate is 2.7% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 57 (44th percentile of 50 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $270 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
