Analysis
Subheading 6004.90 covers other, within heading 6004. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 7% to 12.3% with a median of 9.65%, 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 6004.90.20 (containing elastomeric yarn and rubber thread).
The US splits it as follows: 6004.90.20 for containing elastomeric yarn and rubber thread (12.3%) and 6004.90.90 for other: other (222) (7%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Knit Fabric Mills (313240). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
