HTS tariff line · chapter 08
0808.40.20
If entered during the period from April 1 to June 30, inclusive, in any year
Analysis
HTS 0808.40.20 covers if entered during the period from April 1 to June 30, inclusive, in any year under heading 0808 (apples, pears and quinces, fresh). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 0808.40.20.15 for certified organic and 0808.40.20.25 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 47% of the 60 tariff lines in chapter 08. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 0808.10.00 (apples, pears and quinces, fresh: apples, duty-free), 0808.30.20 (if entered during the period from April 1 to June 30…, duty-free), 0808.30.40 (if entered at any other time, 0.3¢/kg) and 0808.40.40 (if entered at any other time, 0.3¢/kg).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111339 (Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
