Rates on the nearby lines range from 8.1% to 19.7%. The costliest confusion would be with 6111.20.60 (other: other) at 8.1%, a difference of 6.8 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 90%, 6.0 times the general rate.
