Trousers of worsted wool fabric, made of wool yarn having an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less
Analysis
HTS 6203.41.03 covers trousers of worsted wool fabric, made of wool yarn having an average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns or less 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.
The general rate is 41.9¢/kg + 16.3%, 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 41.9¢/kg + 16.3%. 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 6203.41.03.10 for men's (447) and 6203.41.03.20 for boys' (447). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
