Analysis
Heading 6004 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers knitted or crocheted fabrics of a width exceeding 30 cm, containing by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, other than those of heading 6001. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 7 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 7% to 12.3% with a median of 12.3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The spread of 5.3 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 12.3%, applies to 6004.10.00 (containing by weight 5 percent or more of…) and 6004.90.20 (containing elastomeric yarn and rubber thread).
Its median rate of 12.3% sits at the 83rd percentile of the headings in chapter 60.
The largest subheadings are 6004.90 (other, 2 lines) and 6004.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
