Analysis
HTS 0810.90.46 covers other: other under heading 0810 (other fruit, fresh). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 8 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 2.2%. The costliest confusion would be with 0810.90.27 (other: other berries; tamarinds) at duty-free, a difference of 2.2 points on the customs value.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 15.9 times the general rate.
The general duty rate is 2.2% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 08 (58th percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $220 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The ten-digit suffixes separate cactus pears, dragon fruit, jackfruit, lychee, pomegranates and rambutan and 1 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
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 2.2%. 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.
