Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual fresh-fruit category capturing commercially traded species not enumerated elsewhere in the schedule — a classification that requires careful attention because misclassifying a named fruit (such as a variety covered by a more specific heading) can trigger reclassification and duty adjustments. FDA oversight applies to all fresh fruit for food safety, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements govern admissibility based on the specific species and country of origin. Importers dealing in novel or specialty fresh fruits should obtain binding rulings to confirm correct placement in this catch-all versus a more specific code.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The N.E.S. (not elsewhere specified) designation means this heading applies only when the fruit is not covered by a named heading in the schedule. Common fruits like citrus, bananas, grapes, apples, and tropical fruits such as mangoes have dedicated codes. If you are unsure, a binding classification ruling from US Customs and Border Protection is the most reliable way to confirm placement before importing.
Beyond standard commercial invoices and packing lists, fresh fruit imports generally require a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization, and the shipment is subject to USDA APHIS inspection at the port of entry. FDA may also require prior notice under the Bioterrorism Act. Species-specific treatment requirements may apply depending on origin.
