Analysis
HTS 7006.00.10 covers strips not over 15.2 cm in width, measuring over 2 mm in thickness, and having all longitudinal edges ground or otherwise smoothed or processed under heading 7006 (glass of heading 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enameled or…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 4.9% to 6.4%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7006.00.40 (other: other), at 4.9%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 3.9 percentage points.
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 8.8%. 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 8.8% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 70 (83rd percentile of 192 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $880 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 53%, 6.0 times the general rate.
