Analysis
Subheading 6202.20 covers of wool or fine animal hair, within heading 6202. 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 5 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 14% to 14% with a median of 14%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6202.20.11 for overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar coats (41¢/kg + 16.3%), 6202.20.19 for padded, sleeveless jackets (459) (14%), 6202.20.29 for recreational performance outerwear: other (36¢/kg + 16.3%), 6202.20.35 for padded, sleeveless jackets (459) (14%) and 6202.20.40 for other: other (36¢/kg + 16.3%).
3 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.
