Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7.3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7019.61.70 (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 6 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, the Israel FTA, and 9 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 6%. 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%, 8.3 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 6% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 70 (59th percentile of 192 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $600 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
