2003

Analysis

Heading 2003 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers mushrooms and truffles, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 3 eight-digit tariff lines, with 9 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

Every one of its 3 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 7th percentile of the headings in chapter 20.

2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.

The largest subheadings are 2003.90 (other, 2 lines) and 2003.10 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Fruit and Vegetable Canning (311421). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
