6-digit subheadings (3)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Chapter 08 classification notes
Phytosanitary certificates required in most jurisdictions. Shelf-life and fumigation requirements apply to some species (e.g., methyl bromide fumigation for some US stone-fruit imports).
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Sugared / crystallised fruit belongs in Chapter 20 (2006). Frozen fruit with added sugar also moves to 20. Nut butters / pastes: Chapter 20 (peanut butter 2008.11) rather than 0802.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
