HTS 6203.39.50 covers containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (733) under heading 6203 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 6.5% to 27.3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6203.39.20 (of artificial fibers: other), at 27.3%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 26.3 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 1% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 62 (8th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $100 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 35.0 times the general rate.
The other lines in the same group are 6203.39.10 (containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine…, 22%), 6203.39.20 (of artificial fibers: other, 27.3%) and 6203.39.90 (of other textile materials: other, 6.5%).
