Analysis
Heading 6006 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other knitted or crocheted fabrics. It divides into 14 six-digit subheadings and 19 eight-digit tariff lines, with 39 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 10 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 10%, applies to 6006.10.00 (of wool or fine animal hair (414)) and 6006.21.10 (circular knit, wholly of cotton yarns exceeding…).
1 of its 19 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (5%) and 18 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 10%. The median line pays 10%.
The largest subheadings are 6006.21 (unbleached or bleached, 2 lines), 6006.22 (dyed, 2 lines), 6006.23 (of yarns of different colors, 2 lines) and 6006.24 (printed, 2 lines).
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.
