Last updated: July 2026 dataChina leads US imports of prepared and preserved citrus fruit under this heading, which spans an unusually broad range of products — from orange and lemon peel (2008301000, 2008302000) to whole satsumas in airtight containers (2008304210, 2008304290, 2008304600), mandarin segments, clementines, kumquats, citron, and bergamots. The satsuma lines carry tariff-rate-quota treatment tied to import volume thresholds, making quota timing a critical variable for buyers sourcing from Japan and China. Mexico and Peru are also significant suppliers, and the heading's eighteen 10-digit lines require careful product-form and species identification to avoid misclassification.

Lines 2008304210 and 2008304290 apply specifically to satsumas in airtight containers when import quantities fall below a defined threshold, reflecting a TRQ structure negotiated to protect domestic citrus interests. Once that volume threshold is exceeded, different duty rates apply. Importers should monitor quota fill levels through CBP's online portal and time shipments accordingly.
The US schedule separates citrus peel preparations (orange/mandarin peel at 2008301000, lemon peel at 2008302000, other citrus peel at 2008303000) from pulp products (orange pulp at 2008303500, other citrus pulp at 2008303700) and whole or sectioned fruit forms. The physical form of the product — whether it is the outer rind, the inner flesh, or intact segments — determines the correct 10-digit line. Consult a licensed customs broker if the product straddles multiple forms.
