The attribute that most often moves the line is fiber content: cotton curtains that are not knitted or crocheted go to 6303.91.00.10 at a general rate of 10.3%. Knitted or crocheted construction also moves synthetic curtains to 6303.12.00.90, which has the same 11.3% general rate.

Chapter 99 duties and claims that attach to these lines today
Section 301 China
- 9903.88.15 Section 301 China, +7.5%, applies to 6303.92.20.10, 6303.91.00.10, 6303.12.00.90, 6303.99.00.10, 6303.92.20.50, 6303.92.20.30, 6303.12.00.10, 6303.91.00.20, 6303.99.00.30, 6303.99.00.60 9903.88.15 Explained: Section 301 China List 4, 7.5% Duty Rate
Each applicable Chapter 99 heading is reported as its own line beside the classification. Its duty is separate from the general rate above; most programs charge it on top, and a heading's own text says how it is assessed.
What decides the line
A classifier first confirms the item is a curtain, drape, interior blind or valance, which is what the 6303 lines cover. Then check what the item is within that group. Window curtains and window valances have their own statistical lines (6303.92.20.10 for synthetic, 6303.91.00.10 for cotton). Window shades and window blinds sit on separate lines, for example 6303.92.20.30 and 6303.12.00.10.
Next is construction. Knitted or crocheted synthetic items are in 6303.12.00 (the non-shade, non-blind lines end in 6303.12.00.90). Synthetic items that are not knitted fall in 6303.92.20, with 6303.92.20.10 for window curtains and 6303.92.20.50 for other items.
Then comes the fiber. Among items that are not knitted or crocheted, cotton goes to 6303.91.00 (general rate 10.3%), synthetic fibers to 6303.92.20 (11.3%), and anything else to 6303.99.00 (11.3%): artificial fibers on 6303.99.00.10, items with 85 percent or more silk or silk waste by weight on 6303.99.00.30, and remaining materials on 6303.99.00.60. For blends, the schedule's fiber wording and your fabric composition decide the line, so confirm the rule with a licensed broker. Knitted or crocheted curtains of cotton or of other textile materials are on the 6303.19 lines, so confirm that case in the current HTSUS.
Common mistakes
- Filing synthetic window curtains under the cotton line 6303.91.00.10 because the product is described as a cotton blend, when the fiber that governs under the schedule's rules decides the line.
- Using the window curtain line 6303.92.20.10 for roller shades or blinds, which belong on a window shades and window blinds line such as 6303.92.20.30.
- Stopping at the six digit subheading and leaving off the last four digits, which carry the U.S. rate and statistical detail and the reporting units (No. and kg).
- Treating the Free special rate as automatic, when it applies only to the listed programs and countries and only if you qualify for them.
- Leaving off the Chapter 99 line 9903.88.15 when it applies, since it is reported as its own line beside the classification.

It is reported as its own line beside the classification, and its duty is separate from the general rate and charged on top of it.

Does the special rate column matter?
Yes, if your goods come from a listed program country and meet that program's requirements. The curtain lines show Free for programs such as AU, KR and SG, among others. Check the exact list for your line in the current HTSUS, and confirm eligibility with a licensed broker.
What is the column 2 rate of 90%?
Column 2 is a separate rate column, shown as 90% on the curtain lines. It is not the general rate for most imports. Confirm in the current HTSUS whether it could apply to your origin.
