Analysis
Heading 6217 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other made up clothing accessories; parts of garments or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 27 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 12.3 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 14.6%, applies to 6217.10.85 (headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles) and 6217.10.95 (other: other).
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.3% to 14.6% with a median of 14.6%, so the line you choose sets the duty.

Its median rate of 14.6% sits at the 74th percentile of the headings in chapter 62.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (315990). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
