Analysis
HTS 6913.10.20 covers other: of bone chinaware under heading 6913 (statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to duty-free, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6913.10.50 (other: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 3.3 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 3.3% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 69 (30th percentile of 82 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $330 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 70%, 21.2 times the general rate.
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 3.3%. 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.
