Analysis
HTS 6216.00.29 covers containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers or any combi- nation thereof under heading 6216 (gloves, mittens and mitts). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in doz. prs. and kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 23.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 6216.00.43 (ice hockey and field hockey gloves) at duty-free, a difference of 13 points on the customs value.
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 13%. 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 13% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 62 (68th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 1.9 times the general rate.
