Tariff Watch6104.43.20.10 from Romania resolves to 16.00%: a Column 1 General rate of 16.00% and one trade remedy on top of it. That is one line of many under apparel and footwear. Rates within the category differ, so the figure is what this line draws rather than a rate for the category as a whole.

What is in scope
Section 338 reaches apparel and footwear under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.03.14 and the provisions of HTS 61, 62, 64. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the apparel and footwear page.
Romania also faces a country-wide additional duty of 10.0%, applied as a cap on the combined duty rather than a surcharge upon it, reported under 9903.05.39. That reaches goods of Romania whatever they are. The Romania page sets out every action reaching that origin.
Reading this figure
Duty is assessed at the ten-digit statistical line, not at the category and not at the four-digit heading. A different line under apparel and footwear can carry a different Column 1 rate and, where a trade remedy enumerates provisions rather than a whole chapter, a different set of layers. The calculator resolves a specific code, origin and value.
For what each layer above is: Section 232, Section 301, Section 338, how the layers combine.
