Analysis
HTS 1212.99.30 covers apricot, peach (including nectarine) or plum stones and kernels: other under heading 1212 (locust beans, seaweeds and other algae, sugar beet and sugar cane, fresh, chilled, frozen…).
The general rate is 1.5¢/kg, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
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 1.5¢/kg. 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 other lines in the same group are 1212.99.20 (apricot, peach (including nectarine) or plum stones and…, duty-free) and 1212.99.92 (other: other, 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.
