The duty rate will be 14.6 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the silk, Luna Nuova Necklace Kit will be 6217.10.1090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Other made up clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212: Accessories: Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, Other.” The duty rate will be 2.3 percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
