Analysis
HTS 6102.30.10 covers containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (435) under heading 6102 (women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets)…).
The general rate is 64.4¢/kg + 18.8%, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
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 64.4¢/kg + 18.8%. 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 other lines in the same group are 6102.30.05 (containing 25 percent or more by weight of leather (635), 5.3%) and 6102.30.20 (other: other, 28.2%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 3152 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing), an industry of 3,430 US establishments employing 47,582 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
