6204.19.10
Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (444)
Analysis
HTS 6204.19.10 covers containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (444) under heading 6204 (women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided…).
Within this group the rate runs from 1% to 6.5%. Compared with 6204.19.40 (containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (744)), which pays 1%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 16 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 17%. 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 general duty rate is 17% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 62 (86th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,700 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 58.5%, 3.4 times the general rate.
