Analysis
HTS 6006.22.90 covers dyed: other under heading 6006 (other knitted or crocheted fabrics). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 10%. Compared with 6006.90.90 (other: other (899)), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 10 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 4.5 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 6006.22.90.20 for of single knit construction (222) and 6006.22.90.80 for other (222). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The general duty rate is 10% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 60 (55th percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
