Last updated: July 2026 dataSpanning citrus fruit, figs, pineapples, strawberries, mixed fruit combinations, and other provisionally preserved items not elsewhere specified, this heading captures a wide range of horticultural commodities held in preserving agents solely to maintain their physical integrity during transport and storage. Vietnam and China are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with Jamaica and Costa Rica also contributing, reflecting both tropical fruit origins and established processing industries. The US schedule breaks the heading into seven distinct 10-digit lines — including dedicated lines for citrus (0812902000), figs (0812903000), pineapples (0812904000), and strawberries (0812905000) — so correct species identification at entry is critical to avoid misclassification. FDA admissibility review applies; importers should confirm that preserving agents and residue levels meet US food additive standards before shipment.

Classification depends on the specific fruit species. The US schedule provides dedicated lines for citrus (0812902000), figs (0812903000), pineapples (0812904000), and strawberries (0812905000), a line for mixtures of two or more fruits (0812901000), and residual NESOI lines (0812908800 and 0812909000) for everything else. Accurate botanical identification and a clear commercial description on the entry documentation are essential to avoid reclassification at the port.
The inedible designation is a classification criterion, not a duty exemption — duty rates still apply based on the specific HTS line. For admissibility, FDA still requires prior notice and may conduct examination, since the fruit is intended for further processing into edible products. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm both classification and FDA compliance obligations.
