Last updated: August 2026 dataDried prunes — dehydrated plums processed to extend shelf life and concentrate natural sugars — are a widely traded dried-fruit commodity used in food manufacturing, confectionery, and retail consumer packs. The US schedule distinguishes prunes soaked in brine and dried (0813201000) from conventionally dried prunes, whether pitted or not (0813202010), and a residual NESOI line (0813202090). Chile is the leading supplier to the US market, followed by Turkey and France, reflecting both large-scale commercial orchards and traditional European production of Agen-style prunes. Importers should be aware that FDA oversight applies to dried fruit for food-safety and labeling compliance.

The US schedule carves out a specific line for prunes that are soaked in brine as part of the drying process (0813201000), distinguishing them from prunes dried by conventional methods (0813202010 for pitted or unpitted, 0813202090 for other). The processing method must be documented to support correct classification, as brine treatment affects both the product's character and its tariff line.
No broad Section 301 or antidumping orders currently target dried prunes as a category, but importers sourcing from any country should verify the current status of applicable measures at the time of entry, as trade-remedy coverage can change. Chile, the leading supplier, does not face such measures in this category.
