Analysis
HTS 0905.10.00 covers neither crushed nor ground under heading 0905 (vanilla).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 85% of the 48 tariff lines in chapter 09, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other line in the same group is 0905.20.00 (vanilla: crushed or ground, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111339 (Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
