6907.30.10

Mosaic cubes and the like, other than those of subheading 6907.40: unglazed

Analysis

HTS 6907.30.10 covers mosaic cubes and the like, other than those of subheading 6907.40: unglazed under heading 6907 (ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in square metres.

Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 10%. 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 10% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 69 (82nd percentile of 82 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Within this group the rate runs from 8.5% to 10%. Compared with 6907.30.90 (glazed: other), which pays 8.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1.5 percentage points.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 55%, 5.5 times the general rate.
