Analysis
HTS 0905.20.00 covers vanilla: crushed or ground under heading 0905 (vanilla).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 85% of the 48 tariff lines in chapter 09. 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 0905.10.00 (neither crushed nor ground, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111339 (Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
