Analysis
HTS 5810.10.00 covers embroidery without visible ground (229) under heading 5810 (embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs).
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 14.1%. 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 14.1% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 58 (89th percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,410 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 90%, 6.4 times the general rate.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), an industry of 2,241 US establishments employing 26,500 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
