Analysis
Subheading 6205.30 covers of man-made fibers, within heading 6205. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 12.2% to 12.2% with a median of 12.2%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 6205.30.10 for certified hand-loomed and folklore products (640) (12.2%), 6205.30.15 for containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (49.6¢/kg + 19.7%) and 6205.30.20 for other: other (29.1¢/kg + 25.9%).
2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
