Analysis
HTS 6203.11.15 covers of worsted wool fabric, made of wool yarn having an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less (443) under heading 6203 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…).
Within this group the rate runs from 7.5% to 17.5%. Compared with 6203.11.90 (other: other (443)), which pays 17.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 10 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 7.5%. 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 65%, 8.7 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 7.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 62 (48th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $750 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
