What Importers Need to Know About HTS Chapter 08
This subheading falls under an HTS chapter covering edible fruit and nuts including fresh, dried, frozen, and processed fruits, citrus, berries, tropical fruits, and tree nuts. Importers of these products should be aware of the following trade compliance considerations:

For the specific subheading HTS 080420, we recommend you:
- Verify the correct 10-digit statistical suffix — even within a 6-digit subheading, duty rates can differ significantly between suffixes
- Check FTA eligibility — if your product qualifies for preferential treatment under USMCA, KORUS, or another FTA, you may reduce or eliminate duties by providing the required origin certification
- Monitor for trade remedy changes — Section 301, Section 232, and anti-dumping duties are updated periodically. A rate that was correct last quarter may have changed
- Consult CBP resources — for binding classification rulings, CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division provides written determinations

Can I get duty-free treatment for goods classified under HTS 080420?

Check the Special rate column for your specific country of origin. You must provide origin certification to claim FTA preferences.
How do I know if I am using the correct HTS classification?
The correct HTS classification depends on the specific product's composition, function, and in some cases its country of origin. For binding certainty, you can request a written ruling from CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division. Misclassification can result in retroactive duties, penalties under 19 USC §1592, and interest on underpaid amounts. For products classified under heading 080420, the key classification factors include the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Section Notes, and Chapter Notes. When in doubt, consult a licensed customs broker.
HTS Chapter 08 Classification Guide: Edible Fruit and Nuts
Chapter 08 covers edible fruit and nuts — fresh, dried, frozen, and processed fruits, citrus, berries, tropical fruits, and tree nuts. Classification depends on the fruit species, processing state (fresh, dried, frozen), and whether the product is provisionally preserved. Tropical and temperate fruits have separate subheadings.
Common Misclassification Errors
- Classifying frozen fruit under fresh fruit headings — the processing state determines the subheading, and frozen fruit faces different duty rates than fresh
- Confusing dried fruit (0803-0813) with provisionally preserved fruit (Chapter 7) — the preservation method matters for classification
- Not accounting for seasonal tariffs and country-specific import restrictions based on pest risk assessments
Duty Calculation Tips for HTS 080420
Fresh fruit imports require USDA APHIS phytosanitary certificates and may be subject to country-specific import restrictions. Seasonal tariffs protect domestic growers during harvest periods. Many dried and processed fruits qualify for duty-free treatment under FTAs. Check the Special rate column for USMCA and other FTA preferences.
Chapter 08 Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a phytosanitary certificate for fruit imports?
Yes. Fresh fruit imports require USDA APHIS phytosanitary certificates issued by the exporting country's national plant protection organization. The certificate must confirm the fruit is free from quarantine pests. Without it, the shipment will be refused entry or require treatment at the importer's expense.
What are seasonal tariffs on fruit imports?
Seasonal tariffs apply higher duty rates during specific periods of the year (typically during the US domestic harvest season) to protect domestic growers. For example, some fresh fruits face higher rates from June through September. The specific period and rate depend on the fruit type and country of origin.
Are tropical fruits subject to different duty rates than domestic fruits?
Tropical fruits (bananas, mangoes, pineapples, papayas) often face lower MFN duty rates than temperate fruits (apples, pears, cherries) that compete directly with domestic production. However, specific rates vary by fruit and country. Check the HTS subheading for your specific product.
Can dried fruit enter duty-free under FTAs?
Many dried fruits qualify for duty-free treatment under USMCA and other FTAs if they meet the rules of origin. For dried fruit, the origin is typically where the fruit was grown and dried. Processing (adding sugar, sulfur dioxide) may affect FTA eligibility depending on the agreement.
What import restrictions apply to citrus fruit?
Citrus imports are heavily regulated to prevent introduction of citrus canker, citrus greening, and other diseases. USDA APHIS maintains country-specific import requirements, and some citrus varieties from certain origins are prohibited entirely. Check the APHIS Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements (FAVIR) database before importing.
