Analysis
HTS 5703.29.10 covers hand-hooked, that is, in which the tufts were inserted by hand or by means of a hand tool (665) under heading 5703 (carpets and other textile floor coverings (including turf), tufted, whether or not made up).
Within this group the rate runs from 3.8% to 6.7%. Compared with 5703.90.00 (of other textile materials), which pays 3.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2 percentage points.
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 5.8%. 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 5.8% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 57 (71st percentile of 50 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $580 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 10.3 times the general rate.
