Analysis
HTS 6307.90.50 covers corset lacings, footwear lacings or similar lacings under heading 6307 (other made up articles, including dress patterns). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 7.9%. The costliest confusion would be with 6307.90.30 (other: labels) at 7.9%, a difference of 7.9 points on the customs value.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 90% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 90% duty.
For statistics it divides in two: 6307.90.50.10 for of cotton (369) and 6307.90.50.20 for other (669). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 14% of the 98 tariff lines in chapter 63 that are also free. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
