Analysis
HTS 0711.90.30 covers other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: capers under heading 0711 (vegetables provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 7.7%. The costliest confusion would be with 0711.90.20 (leguminous vegetables) at duty-free, a difference of 8 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The general duty rate is 8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 07 (49th percentile of 91 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $800 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The other lines in the same group are 0711.90.20 (leguminous vegetables, duty-free), 0711.90.50 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: onions, 5.1%) and 0711.90.65 (other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables: other vegetables…, 7.7%).
