Analysis
Subheading 6005.90 covers other, within heading 6005. 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 10% to 10% with a median of 10%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6005.90.10 for of wool or fine animal hair (414) (10%) and 6005.90.90 for other: other (899) (10%).
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.
Goods only reach 6005.90 once they fall within heading 6005 (warp knit fabrics (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
