Analysis
HTS 5807.10.20 covers woven: other under heading 5807 (labels, badges and similar articles of textile materials, in the piece, in strips or cut…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 4.5% to 7.9%. The costliest confusion would be with 5807.10.05 (of cotton or man-made fibers) at 7.9%, a difference of 4.6 points on the customs value.
The general duty rate is 3.3% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 58 (28th percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $330 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 40%, 12.1 times the general rate.
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 3.3%. 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.
