Analysis
Heading 5902 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers tire cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other poly- amides, polyesters or viscose rayon. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 3 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 5.8%. The median line pays 5.8%.
The spread of 5.8 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 5.8%, applies to 5902.10.00 (of nylon or other polyamides (229)) and 5902.20.00 (of polyesters (229)).
