Of cotton: other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the fore- going specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts

Analysis

HTS 6216.00.35 covers of cotton: other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the fore- going specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts under heading 6216 (gloves, mittens and mitts).

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 23.5%. Compared with 6216.00.41 (with fourchettes (331)), which pays 23.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 20.7 percentage points.

The general duty rate is 2.8% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 62 (16th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $280 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 16.1 times the general rate.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.8%. 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.
