6103.29.10

Of artificial fibers

Analysis

HTS 6103.29.10 covers of artificial fibers under heading 6103 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.

The general rate is The rate applicable to each garment in the ensemble if separately entered, 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 The rate applicable to each garment in the ensemble if separately entered. 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 ten-digit suffixes separate garments described in heading 6101, jackets and blazers described in…, trousers and breeches, shorts, sweaters and shirts. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
