Analysis
HTS 6211.32.90 covers of cotton: other under heading 6211 (track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 12 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 0.5% to 28.6%. The costliest confusion would be with 6211.20.68 (trousers and breeches imported as parts of ski-suits: other) at 28.6%, a difference of 20.5 points on the customs value.
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 8.1%. 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 90%, 11.1 times the general rate.
The ten-digit suffixes separate containing 15 percent or more by weight…, other, insulated for cold weather…, men's, sizes 2-7, washsuits, sunsuits, one-piece piece… and trousers and 3 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
The general duty rate is 8.1% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 62 (51st percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $810 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
