Analysis
HTS 0810.20.90 covers raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and loganberries: other under heading 0810 (other fruit, fresh). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 2.2%. Compared with 0810.90.46 (other: other), which pays 2.2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 2.2 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 47% of the 60 tariff lines in chapter 08, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The ten-digit suffixes separate raspberries packed in units weighing and certified organic. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111334 (Berry (except Strawberry) Farming). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
