Trousers and breeches, containing elastomeric fiber, water resistant, without belt loops, weighing more than 9 kg per dozen
Analysis
HTS 6203.41.01 covers trousers and breeches, containing elastomeric fiber, water resistant, without belt loops, weighing more than 9 kg per dozen under heading 6203 (men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.
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 7.6%. 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.
Within this group the rate runs from 7.6% to 8.5%. Compared with 6203.41.80 (bib and brace overalls (459)), which pays 8.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 0.9 percentage points.
For statistics it divides in two: 6203.41.01.10 for men's (447) and 6203.41.01.20 for boys' (447). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The general duty rate is 7.6% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 62 (50th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $760 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
