Importers of Dried, Crushed, or Ground Capsicum and Pimenta Fruits paid $1.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 4.1% on $25.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCapsicum fruits — encompassing chili peppers, paprika, and cayenne — along with allspice (Pimenta dioica) in dried or processed form are grouped here, reflecting their shared botanical genera rather than their very different flavor profiles. The range of products is commercially broad: whole dried chilies, paprika powder, cayenne, and crushed red pepper all fall within this heading, making precise product description on commercial invoices essential for accurate classification. FDA governs these as food ingredients, and aflatoxin contamination and pesticide residues are the primary examination triggers for dried chili products in particular.

Yes. Despite their very different culinary uses, both Capsicum and Pimenta fruits in dried, crushed, or ground form share this SITC heading because classification follows botanical genus rather than flavor or end use. Trade professionals should ensure the commercial invoice specifies the exact species and form to avoid misclassification.
Aflatoxin contamination, pesticide residue exceedances, and Salmonella are the most frequent causes of FDA detention for dried chili and paprika shipments. Importers should request aflatoxin and pesticide certificates of analysis from suppliers and consider pre-shipment testing, particularly for product sourced from regions with known contamination histories. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA for current admissibility guidance.
