0709.60
Fruits of the genus Capsicum (peppers) or of the genus Pimenta (e.g., allspice)
Analysis
Subheading 0709.60 covers fruits of the genus Capsicum (peppers) or of the genus Pimenta (e.g., allspice), within heading 0709. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The US splits it as follows: 0709.60.20 for fruits of the genus Capsicum (peppers) or of the genus Pimenta (e.g.… (4.4¢/kg) and 0709.60.40 for fruits of the genus Capsicum (peppers) or of the genus Pimenta (e.g.… (4.7¢/kg).
2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming (111219). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
