Last updated: April 2026 data

Vietnam leads US imports under this residual heading for provisionally preserved fruits and nuts, with China and Jamaica also among the top sources — a supplier mix that reflects the diversity of tropical and subtropical fruits captured here, from figs (0812903000) and pineapples (0812904000) to strawberries (0812905000) and mixed-fruit packs (0812901000). Like all provisionally preserved fruit, these goods are treated with agents such as sulfur dioxide or brine specifically to prevent deterioration during transit, and they must undergo further processing before they are suitable for consumption. The NESOI residual lines (0812908800, 0812909000) absorb a wide range of less-common fruits, making a binding ruling advisable when the commodity does not clearly match a named line. FDA registration and Prior Notice filing are required for all shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should an importer decide between the named fruit lines and the NESOI residual lines under this heading?

CBP expects importers to use the most specific applicable provision. If the fruit is explicitly named — figs, pineapples, strawberries, or a mixture of two or more fruits — the corresponding named line applies. Only fruits that do not match any named description should be entered under the NESOI residual lines. When there is genuine ambiguity, requesting a binding ruling from CBP before shipment is the safest approach.

Does the 'provisionally preserved' condition affect the applicable FDA entry requirements?

No — FDA Prior Notice and foreign facility registration requirements apply regardless of the preservation state. However, the preservation agent used (e.g., sulfur dioxide concentration) must comply with US food additive regulations, and the importer's FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program should address the specific hazards associated with the preservation method. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA compliance specialist before entry.
