Containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or applique work
Analysis
HTS 6302.22.10 covers containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or applique work under heading 6302 (bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 6 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 20.9%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6302.99.15 (of other textile materials: of flax), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 14.9 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 14.9%. 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 14.9% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 63 (96th percentile of 98 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,490 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 90%, 6.0 times the general rate.
The ten-digit suffixes separate napped, not napped, napped, not napped and bolster cases. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
