Analysis

HTS 6105.20.10 covers containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (438) under heading 6105 (men's or boys' shirts, knitted or crocheted).

Rates on the nearby lines range from 0.9% to 32%. The costliest confusion would be with 6105.20.20 (of man-made fibers: other) at 32%, a difference of 18.4 points on the customs value.

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 13.6%. 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 54.5%, 4.0 times the general rate.

The general duty rate is 13.6% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 61 (56th percentile of 227 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,360 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
