Analysis
Heading 6307 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other made up articles, including dress patterns. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 13 eight-digit tariff lines, with 38 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 7.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 7.9%, applies to 6307.90.30 (other: labels).
4 of its 13 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (31%) and 9 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 7.9%. The median line pays 4.5%.
The largest subheadings are 6307.90 (other, 10 lines), 6307.10 (floorcloths, dishcloths, dusters and similar…, 2 lines) and 6307.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 4.5% sits at the 31st percentile of the headings in chapter 63.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Curtain and Linen Mills (314120), All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (314999) and Narrow Fabric Mills and Schiffli Machine Embroidery (313220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
