Analysis
HTS 6308.00.00 covers needlecraft sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths or napkins… under heading 6308 (needlecraft sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 11.4%. 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 11.4% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 63 (89th percentile of 98 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,140 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 55%, 4.8 times the general rate.
For statistics it divides in two: 6308.00.00.10 for containing wool yarn (469) and 6308.00.00.20 for other (669). Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
It is the only US line under subheading 6308.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 6308.00 points straight here.
