Analysis
HTS 0807.11.30 covers if entered during the period from December 1, in any year, to the following March 31, inclusive under heading 0807 (melons (including watermelons) and papayas (papaws), fresh). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from 1.6% to 29.8%. Compared with 0807.19.20 (if entered at any other time), which pays 29.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 20.8 percentage points.
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 9%. 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. Reduced but not zero rates apply under some agreements: 4.5% for JP.
The general duty rate is 9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 08 (75th percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $900 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 3.9 times the general rate.
