Analysis
HTS 6913.90.30 covers of earthenware, whether or not decorated, having a reddish-colored body and a lustrous glaze, and mottled, streaked or solidly colored brown to black with… under heading 6913 (statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 6%. Compared with 6913.90.50 (other: other), which pays 6%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 6 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 27% of the 82 tariff lines in chapter 69, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
The other lines in the same group are 6913.90.10 (statues, statuettes and handmade flowers, valued over $2.50…, duty-free), 6913.90.20 (other: of ceramic tile, duty-free) and 6913.90.50 (other: other, 6%).
