Last updated: April 2026 dataChile is the leading supplier of dried prunes to the US, with Turkey and Argentina also significant sources — a supply geography that gives importers meaningful origin diversification options but also exposes them to Southern Hemisphere harvest seasonality. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into four 10-digit lines distinguishing prunes soaked in brine and dried (0813201000), pitted or unpitted dried prunes (0813202010), and a residual NESOI line (0813202090), making accurate product description essential at entry. Dried prunes are a widely traded ingredient in the food processing, bakery, and health-food sectors, and FDA prior notice is required for all shipments.

Commercially, 'dried plums' is a marketing term used interchangeably with 'prunes' in the US market, but for HTS classification both terms refer to the same product under heading 0813.20. The key classification distinctions within this heading are processing method (brine-soaked vs. conventionally dried) and whether the fruit is pitted or unpitted, not the commercial name used on packaging.
Prunes soaked in brine and then dried occupy a dedicated 10-digit line (0813201000) separate from conventionally dried prunes. This processing method affects moisture content, texture, and sometimes duty treatment, so importers must ensure the commercial invoice and CBP entry accurately describe the production process. Misclassifying brine-soaked product under a standard dried-prune line can trigger reclassification and potential penalties.
