Fresh Fruit, Not Elsewhere Specified

Mexico and Ecuador lead US imports under this residual fresh-fruit heading, which captures commercially significant tropical and specialty fruits that lack their own dedicated HS heading — including dragon fruit, lychee, jackfruit, rambutan, pomegranates, cactus pears, tomatillos, tamarinds, and miscellaneous fresh berries. The US schedule has been progressively disaggregated at the 10-digit level to give dedicated lines to individually named fruits (e.g., 0810904630 for dragon fruit, 0810904650 for lychee), reducing the volume that falls into the catch-all line (0810904680). Importers must identify the specific fruit at entry, as misclassification into the wrong named line or the residual line can affect duty liability. FDA governs admissibility, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary conditions — which vary significantly by fruit type and origin — apply at the border.
