Analysis
HTS 6106.20.10 covers containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair under heading 6106 (women's or girls' blouses and shirts, knitted or crocheted). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 0.9% to 32%. The costliest confusion would be with 6106.20.20 (of man-made fibers: other) at 32%, a difference of 17.1 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 14.9%. 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.
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 54.5%, 3.7 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 6106.20.10.10 for women's (438) and 6106.20.10.20 for girls' (438). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
