6203
Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)
Analysis
Heading 6203 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear). It divides into 14 six-digit subheadings and 64 eight-digit tariff lines, with 223 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 27.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 27.9%, applies to 6203.43.13 (other: other) and 6203.43.90 (other: other).
6 of its 51 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (12%) and 45 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 27.9%. The median line pays 8.5%.
13 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 largest subheadings are 6203.43 (of synthetic fibers, 13 lines), 6203.49 (of other textile materials, 9 lines), 6203.41 (of wool or fine animal hair, 8 lines) and 6203.42 (of cotton, 6 lines).
