Analysis
HTS 5810.92.90 covers of man-made fibers: other under heading 5810 (embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
The general rate is See additional U.S. note 3, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying See additional U.S. note 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.
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 concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
