Analysis
Subheading 6116.10 covers impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, within heading 6116. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 10 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 23.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 23.5%, applies to 6116.10.17 (of vegetable fibers: other).
1 of its 10 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (10%) and 9 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 23.5%. The median line pays 11.2%.
