Miscellaneous Citrus Fruits, Fresh or Dried (Kumquats, Citrons, Bergamots, and Others)

The classification logic for Chapter 8 citrus is exclusionary: 080590 applies only after confirming the fruit is not an orange (080510), mandarin/tangerine/satsuma (080521), clementine (080522), Wilking hybrid (080529), grapefruit/pomelo (080540), or lemon/lime (080550). For unusual varieties, a binding ruling request to CBP — supported by botanical identification documentation — is the most reliable way to confirm the correct heading.

Yes. Fresh or dried bergamot fruit enters under 080590, but bergamot essential oil or extract is classified in Chapter 33 (essential oils and resinoids). Importers should ensure that the form of the product — whole fruit, dried peel, or processed extract — is clearly described on the commercial invoice, as the processing state determines the applicable chapter and tariff line.
