Clear customs

Raw cotton is heading 5201, and into Bangladesh, Pakistan and China it is duty free or quota, not a tariff.

The applied rates into Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and China, read from the national schedules and dated, are on the duty page, beside the exporter schemes that can take them to zero. Confirm the line with a clearing agent on the day; rates change at every budget.

Man-made staple clears under its own headings: polyester staple is 5503.20 and viscose staple 5504.10. Those two lines are not on our duty page yet, so for them the clearing agent is the check, not us.
