Analysis
HTS 5801.26.00 covers of cotton: chenille fabrics under heading 5801 (woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 20.2%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5801.22.90 (cut corduroy: other (224)), at 20.2%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 20.2 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 50% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 50% duty.
For statistics it divides in two: 5801.26.00.10 for with chenille yarns on one side only (224) and 5801.26.00.20 for other (224). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 24% of the 67 tariff lines in chapter 58. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
