Blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers
Analysis
HTS 6301.40.00 covers blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers under heading 6301 (blankets and traveling rugs). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 11.4%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6301.20.00 (blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of wool…), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 8.5 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 8.5%. 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 8.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 63 (69th percentile of 98 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $850 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 77.5%, 9.1 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 6301.40.00.10 for woven (666) and 6301.40.00.20 for other (666). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
