Gauze, other than narrow fabrics of heading 5806: of cotton (220)
Analysis
HTS 5803.00.10 covers gauze, other than narrow fabrics of heading 5806: of cotton (220) under heading 5803 (gauze, other than narrow fabrics of heading 5806).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 16.5%. Compared with 5803.00.30 (of wool or fine animal hair: other (414)), which pays 16.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 16.5 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 41.75% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 41.75% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 24% of the 67 tariff lines in chapter 58, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills), an industry of 234 US establishments employing 13,276 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
