Analysis
HTS 7019.14.00 covers mechanically bonded mats under heading 7019 (glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof (for example, yarn, rovings…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7.3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7019.66.70 (fiberglass tire cord fabric woven from electrically nonconductive…), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 4.3 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.3%. 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.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 50%, 11.6 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 4.3% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 70 (39th percentile of 192 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $430 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
