6203.19.20
Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (443)
Analysis
HTS 6203.19.20 covers containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (443) under heading 6203 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…).
The general rate is 52.9¢/kg + 21%, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
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 52.9¢/kg + 21%. 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 other lines in the same group are 6203.19.10 (of other textile materials: of cotton, 13.2%), 6203.19.30 (of artificial fibers: other (643), 14.9%), 6203.19.50 (containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk…, 3.8%) and 6203.19.90 (of other textile materials: other, 7.1%).
