6113.00.90

Analysis

HTS 6113.00.90 covers garments, made up of knitted or crocheted fabrics of heading 5903, 5906 or 5907: other under heading 6113 (garments, made up of knitted or crocheted fabrics of heading 5903, 5906 or 5907). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 16 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.

Within this group the rate runs from 3.8% to 3.8%. Compared with 6113.00.10 (having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated…), which pays 3.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3.3 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 7.1%. 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 men's or boys', women's or girls', men's or boys', women's or girls', men's or boys' and women's or girls and 10 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

The general duty rate is 7.1% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 61 (35th percentile of 227 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $710 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 65%, 9.2 times the general rate.
