Analysis
HTS 7013.22.20 covers valued over $1 but not over $3 each under heading 7013 (glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from 3% to 15%. The costliest confusion would be with 7013.22.50 (valued over $5 each) at 3%, a difference of 11 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 14%. 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 14% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 70 (91st percentile of 192 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,400 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 4.3 times the general rate.
