Analysis
HTS 2008.11.02 covers described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions under heading 2008 (fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 131.8%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2008.11.61 (other: other), at 131.8%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 131.8 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 13% of the 107 tariff lines in chapter 20. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311911 (Roasted Nuts and Peanut Butter Manufacturing), an industry of 267 US establishments employing 19,949 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
