Analysis

HTS 5806.20.00 covers narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs): other woven… 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 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 8.8%. The costliest confusion would be with 5806.39.30 (of other textile materials: other) at duty-free, a difference of 7 points on the customs value.

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 7%. 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 60%, 8.6 times the general rate.

For statistics it divides in two: 5806.20.00.10 for containing elastomeric yarn (229) and 5806.20.00.90 for other (229). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

The general duty rate is 7% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 58 (53rd percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $700 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
