Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 28.2%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6104.39.20 (of other textile materials: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 14.9 percentage points.

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 general duty rate is 14.9% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 61 (67th percentile of 227 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,490 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 90%, 6.0 times the general rate.
