Analysis
HTS 2008.80.00 covers fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not… under heading 2008 (fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, otherwise prepared or preserved, whether or…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 131.8%. The costliest confusion would be with 2008.11.61 (other: other) at 131.8%, a difference of 119.9 points on the customs value.
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 11.9%. 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 11.9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 20 (76th percentile of 107 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,190 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 2.9 times the general rate.
