Chapter Schedule Made Textile Fabric United Yarn Woven

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule for the United States is a detailed "schedule" (list) of nearly all products that may be imported into the United States, as well as their "tariff classifications" (groups having to pay specific tax rates). The Schedule "assigns" (gives; names) a "10-digit" (with 10 numerals) number to goods based on their name, use, and "make-up" (what something is made from).

The Schedule has 22 sections and 99 chapters, and finding a specific type of product can be "daunting" (intimidating because something is very difficult). For example, the first part of Section "XI" (11 in Roman numerals) looks like this:

Section XI: "Textile" (items made from cloth) and Textile Articles

Chapter 50 "Silk" (very fine fabric made from the "cocoons" (shelters for larva before they become butterflies) of silkworms)

Chapter 51 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric

Chapter 52 Cotton

Chapter 53 Other vegetable textile fibers; paper yarn and woven fabric of paper yarn

Chapter 54 Man-made "filaments" (thin thread-like objects)

Chapter 55 Man-made "staple fibers" (wool, cotton, hemp, and other natural substances that can be made into yarn)

Chapter 56 "Wadding" (soft, thick material often used for packing fragile items), felt and nonwovens; special yarns, twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles "thereof" (part of the things just mentioned)

Chapter 57 Carpets and other textile floor coverings

Chapter 58 Special woven fabrics; tufted textile fabrics; "lace" (delicate fabric with many holes, often used for women's "lingerie" (sexy underwear)), "tapestries" (woven pieces of art hung on the wall); trimmings; embroidery
