Analysis
HTS 0811.20.40 covers raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, loganberries, black, white or red currants and gooseberries (other than kiwi fruit): other 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 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 14.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 0811.90.35 (cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpum)) at duty-free, a difference of 9 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 9%. 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 9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 08 (75th percentile of 60 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $900 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
For statistics it divides in two: 0811.20.40.30 for blackberries and 0811.20.40.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 3.9 times the general rate.
