Analysis
Subheading 6006.90 covers other, within heading 6006. 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.
The spread of 7 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 7%, applies to 6006.90.10 (containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk…).
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 7%. The median line pays 3.5%.
The US splits it as follows: 6006.90.10 for containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (7%) and 6006.90.90 for other: other (899) (duty-free).
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.
