Analysis
Subheading 5801.37 covers warp pile fabrics, within heading 5801. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 14% to 17.2% with a median of 15.6%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 5801.37.10 for epinglé (uncut) (224) (14%) and 5801.37.50 for warp pile fabrics: cut (17.2%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Broadwoven Fabric Mills (313210). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 5801.37 once they fall within heading 5801 (woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics, other than fabrics of heading 5802 or 5806). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
