§ FAQFrequently asked questions
- What is the US import duty for HTS 5205.34.00.00?
- HTS 5205.34.00.00 (Exceeding 52 nm but not exceeding 80 nm per single yarn (300)) has a general (MFN) column rate of 9.9%, plus 1 active Chapter 99 overlay(s) that may apply depending on origin (for example, Section 301 or IEEPA actions). Final duty is determined by CBP at entry.
- Which Chapter 99 rules are currently linked to HTS 5205.34.00.00?
- The following rules are attached in our snapshot: 9903.88.03 (section301) — section301. Each rule has its own country scope and effective dates — check the rule detail on this page for the additional rate and status before applying it to your shipment.
- Do USMCA / free-trade rules of origin apply to HTS 5205.34.00.00?
- Textiles and apparel (Chapters 50–63) have yarn-forward and fabric-forward rules of origin under USMCA and most other FTAs. Meeting the tariff-shift alone is typically not enough — confirm the fiber / yarn / fabric origin chain before claiming the preferential rate.
- Why is HTS 5205.34.00.00 a 10-digit statistical suffix?
- The 10-digit format is used for CBP entry reporting to track quantity / form; actual column rates are typically set at the 6- or 8-digit parent subheading, and this page inherits those rates. Use the Chapter breadcrumb above to see sibling tariff lines within the same chapter. This page is marked noindex because the duty-relevant signal lives at the parent level.
- Is this the binding duty determination?
- No. This page is a reference built on USITC + Federal Register open data. The binding classification and duty amount is determined by CBP at entry. AD/CVD and product-specific exclusions require separate review.
