U.S. imports of prepared or preserved apricots (HS 200850) totaled $222K in June 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Prepared or Preserved Apricots paid $53K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 40% on $131K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Prepared and preserved apricots enter the US under three distinct 10-digit lines that separate apricot pulp (2008502000) — a widely used ingredient in bakery fillings and baby food — from whole or sliced apricot preparations (2008504000) and a residual NESOI line (2008500000). China is the dominant supplier, reflecting its large-scale stone-fruit processing industry, while imports from France and Greece serve specialty and premium-tier buyers. Products subject to Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods should be reviewed carefully, as the additional duty burden can shift sourcing economics toward alternative origins.

Prepared and preserved apricots originating from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusions with a licensed customs broker before finalizing sourcing decisions, as the additional duty can materially affect landed cost.
Apricot pulp — a processed, homogenized product used as an ingredient — is classified at 2008502000, while intact or sliced apricot pieces prepared or preserved by other means fall under 2008504000. The physical form and degree of processing are the key classification determinants; a product that retains recognizable fruit pieces is generally not considered pulp.
