About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers woven fabrics specifically manufactured from artificial staple fibers that have been printed. The "duck" designation in this subcategory refers to a plain-weave fabric, typically of a heavier construction than common cotton fabrics. This fabric is characterized by its balanced weave, where the warp and weft threads are of equal count and diameter, creating a strong and durable material.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it's important to note that while other categories under "Other: Printed" might encompass fabrics with different weave structures (e.g., satin weave, twill weave) or specific fabric types (e.g., poplin, sheeting, printcloth), this subcategory is narrowly defined by the combination of an artificial staple fiber base, a printed design, and the specific "duck" weave construction. The distinction is crucial for accurately assessing duties and ensuring compliance.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, based on the specific material (artificial staple fibers), construction (woven), finishing (printed), and weave type (duck). Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods precisely match these criteria to avoid misclassification.
