Analysis
HTS 2007.99.65 covers pastes and purees: other under heading 2007 (jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut pureé and fruit or nut pastes, obtained by…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 14%. Compared with 2007.99.30 (jams: guava), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 10 percentage points.
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 10%. 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 10% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 20 (65th percentile of 107 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,000 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 3.5 times the general rate.
