If entered during the period from February 15 to March 31, inclusive, in any year
Analysis
HTS 0806.10.20 covers if entered during the period from February 15 to March 31, inclusive, in any year under heading 0806 (grapes, fresh or dried). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in m3 and kilograms.
The general rate is $1.13/m3, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
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 $1.13/m3. 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 other lines in the same group are 0806.10.40 (if entered during the period from April 1 to June 30…, duty-free) and 0806.10.60 (if entered at any other time, $1.80/m3).
