Analysis
HTS 6103.10.40 covers containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (443) under heading 6103 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 28.2%. Compared with 6103.10.30 (of synthetic fibers: other (643)), which pays 28.2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 28.2 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 5% of the 227 tariff lines in chapter 61, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
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 concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
