5806.40.00

Fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)

Analysis

HTS 5806.40.00 covers fabrics consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs) under heading 5806 (narrow woven fabrics, other than goods of heading 5807; narrow fabrics consisting of warp…).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 8.8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 5806.39.30 (of other textile materials: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8 percentage points.

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 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 general duty rate is 8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 58 (63rd percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $800 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 83.5%, 10.4 times the general rate.
