Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 3.1%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 9101.21.50 (having over 17 jewels in the movement: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 3.1 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 80%, 25.8 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.1%. 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 3.1% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 91 (46th percentile of 48 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $310 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
