Analysis
HTS 7113.11.10 covers rope, curb, cable, chain and similar articles produced in continuous lengths, all the foregoing, whether or not cut to specific lengths and whether or not set… under heading 7113 (articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious…).
Within this group the rate runs from 5% to 13.5%. Compared with 7113.11.20 (valued not over $18 per dozen pieces or parts), which pays 13.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 7.2 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 6.3% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 71 (84th percentile of 108 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $630 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
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 6.3%. 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 80%, 12.7 times the general rate.
