Analysis
HTS 6310.90.10 covers of wool or fine animal hair under heading 6310 (used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables, and worn out articles of twine…).
The general rate is 5.5¢/kg, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
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 5.5¢/kg. 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 other lines in the same group are 6310.10.10 (of wool or fine animal hair, duty-free), 6310.10.20 (sorted: other, duty-free) and 6310.90.20 (other: other, duty-free).
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of 5.5¢/kg.
