Analysis
HTS 0811.10.00 covers fruit and nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter: strawberries under heading 0811 (fruit and nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 14.5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 0811.90.35 (cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpum)), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 11.2 percentage points.
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 11.2%. 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.
The general duty rate is 11.2% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 08 (83rd percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,120 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 3.1 times the general rate.
