The applicable subheading for the gimped or covered yarn will be 5606.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for gimped yarn, and strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405, gimped (other than those of heading 5605 and gimped horsehair yarn). The duty rate will be 11.5 percent ad valorem. Goods classifiable under subheading 5606.00.0000, HTS, which have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to a 9.2 percent ad valorem rate of duty under the United States- Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
