Apricots, cherries, peaches (including nectarines), plums (including prune plums) and sloes, fresh
Analysis
Heading 0809 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers apricots, cherries, peaches (including nectarines), plums (including prune plums) and sloes, fresh. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 7 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
3 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.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 08.
The largest subheadings are 0809.30 (peaches, including nectarines, 2 lines), 0809.40 (plums (including prune plums) and sloes, 2 lines), 0809.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 0809.21 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming (111339). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
