Analysis
HTS 5805.00.20 covers certified hand-loomed and folklore products under heading 5805 (hand-woven tapestries of the type Gobelins, Flanders, Aubusson, Beauvais and the like…).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 64.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 64.5% duty.
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.
The other lines in the same group are 5805.00.10 (hand-woven tapestries fit only for use as wall hangings and…, duty-free), 5805.00.25 (of wool or fine animal hair: other (414), duty-free), 5805.00.30 (other: of cotton (369), duty-free) and 5805.00.40 (other: other, duty-free).
All 4 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
