Analysis
Subheading 6101.90 covers of other textile materials, within heading 6101. 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 0.9% to 5.7% with a median of 3.3000000000000003%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6101.90.05 for of wool or fine animal hair (434) (61.7¢/kg + 16%), 6101.90.10 for containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (734) (0.9%) and 6101.90.90 for of other textile materials: other (5.7%).
1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
