Analysis
HTS 6603.20.90 covers umbrella frames, including frames mounted on shafts (sticks): other under heading 6603 (parts, trimmings and accessories of articles of heading 6601 or 6602).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 5.2%. The costliest confusion would be with 6603.90.41 (umbrella handles, knobs, tips and caps) at duty-free, a difference of 12 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 12%. 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 12% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 66 (94th percentile of 8 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,200 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 5.0 times the general rate.
