Analysis

HTS 5806.10.30 covers woven pile fabrics (including terry toweling and similar terry fabrics) and chenille fabrics: other under heading 5806 (narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Within this group the rate runs from 7% to 8.4%. Compared with 5806.10.28 (of man-made fibers: other (229)), which pays 8.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.6 percentage points.

The general duty rate is 3.8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 58 (32nd percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $380 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 59%, 15.5 times the general rate.
