Chapter 63
Textiles and textile articles
Chapter 63 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sits in section XI (textiles and textile articles). It has 10 headings and 99 eight-digit tariff lines.
The spread of 20.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here.
14 of its 98 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (14%) and 84 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 20.9%. The median line pays 6.35%.
1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The most finely divided heading is 6302 (bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen), with 32 lines; fine division usually means the rates or the trade statistics differ enough to be worth separating.
1 of its 10 headings is entirely duty-free at the general rate: 6309 (worn clothing and other worn articles).
