U.S. imports of fresh or chilled capsicum & pimenta fruits (peppers & allspice) (HS 070960) totaled $222.1M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Capsicum & Pimenta Fruits (Peppers & Allspice) paid $415K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $4.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPeppers and allspice berries of the genera Capsicum and Pimenta form one of the most tariff-line-dense fresh vegetable headings in the US schedule, with over two dozen 10-digit codes distinguishing greenhouse from field-grown, organic from conventional, and specific chili varieties (jalapeño, serrano, poblano, Anaheim) from sweet bell-type peppers by color. Mexico overwhelmingly dominates US supply, with Canada and Honduras also significant, reflecting the scale of North American greenhouse and open-field pepper production. FDA entry review and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply; importers must select the correct line based on production method, variety, and organic status.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff schedule maintains entirely separate 10-digit lines for greenhouse-grown sweet bell-type peppers (e.g., 0709604005–0709604055) versus field-grown or non-greenhouse peppers (e.g., 0709604060–0709604087 and the chili lines). Misclassifying greenhouse product as field-grown or vice versa can result in an incorrect duty rate. Importers should obtain documentation from the grower confirming production method.
Yes — the US schedule includes dedicated 10-digit lines for jalapeño (0709602020), Anaheim (0709602040), poblano (0709602050), and serrano (0709602060) peppers grown outside greenhouses, plus a greenhouse chili line (0709602010) and a catch-all for other non-greenhouse chili types (0709602070). Correct classification requires identifying both the variety and the production method.
