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.
