Raspberries, loganberries, black currants and gooseberries (other than kiwi fruit)

Analysis

HTS 0811.20.20 covers raspberries, loganberries, black currants and gooseberries (other than kiwi fruit) 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 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 14.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 0811.90.80 (other: other) at 14.5%, a difference of 10 points on the customs value.

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 4.5%. 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 4.5% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 08 (66th percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $450 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 7.8 times the general rate.
