Analysis
HTS 5905.00.90 covers textile wall coverings: other (229) under heading 5905 (textile wall coverings).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 74% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 74% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 37% of the 59 tariff lines in chapter 59, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 5905.00.10 (backed with permanently affixed paper, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 322220 (Paper Bag and Coated and Treated Paper Manufacturing), an industry of 715 US establishments employing 55,911 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
