Chapter 62
Textiles and textile articles
Chapter 62 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sits in section XI (textiles and textile articles). It has 17 headings and 395 eight-digit tariff lines.
The spread of 28.6 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here.
21 of its 352 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (6%) and 331 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 28.6%. The median line pays 7.6%.
43 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The most finely divided heading is 6204 (women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses…), with 86 lines; fine division usually means the rates or the trade statistics differ enough to be worth separating.
The heading with the highest median rate is 6212 (brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles…) at 16.9%.
