Analysis
HTS 6211.20.08 covers containing 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage and of which down comprises 35 percent or more by weight; containing 10 percent or more… under heading 6211 (track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 0.7% to 28.6%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6211.20.68 (trousers and breeches imported as parts of ski-suits: other), at 28.6%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 24.2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 4.4% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 62 (26th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $440 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 10 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.4%. 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 column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 13.6 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 6211.20.08.10 for men's or boys' and 6211.20.08.20 for women's or girls'. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
