Analysis
HTS 6102.90.10 covers containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (735) under heading 6102 (women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets)…).
Within this group the rate runs from 5.3% to 28.2%. Compared with 6102.30.20 (other: other), which pays 28.2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 27.3 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 0.9% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 61 (10th percentile of 227 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $90 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 50.0 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 0.9%. 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.
