Grapefruit and Pomelos, Fresh or Dried

Grapefruit and pomelos have separate 10-digit tariff lines under this heading, so a mixed shipment must be declared and classified by fruit type. The commercial invoice and packing list should itemize quantities of each fruit separately. Commingling without proper documentation can lead to CBP reclassification or examination delays.

The seasonal tariff lines (0805408010 for grapefruit, 0805408090 for pomelos) apply only to entries made between November 1 and July 31. Shipments entering outside that window — August 1 through October 31 — must use the non-seasonal lines (0805400010 or 0805400050). Importers should verify the actual date of CBP entry, not the shipment date, when selecting the correct tariff line.
