HTS tariff line · chapter 08
0809.40.20
If entered during the period from January 1 to May 31, inclusive, in any year
Analysis
HTS 0809.40.20 covers if entered during the period from January 1 to May 31, inclusive, in any year under heading 0809 (apricots, cherries, peaches (including nectarines), plums (including prune plums) and…).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 47% of the 60 tariff lines in chapter 08 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111339 (Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 6 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
