Chapter 58
Textiles and textile articles
Chapter 58 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sits in section XI (textiles and textile articles). It has 11 headings and 72 eight-digit tariff lines.
The spread of 20.2 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here.
16 of its 67 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (24%) and 51 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 20.2%. The median line pays 6.6%.
5 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The most finely divided heading is 5801 (woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or…), with 16 lines; fine division usually means the rates or the trade statistics differ enough to be worth separating.
1 of its 11 headings is entirely duty-free at the general rate: 5805 (hand-woven tapestries of the type Gobelins…).
