U.S. imports of Prepared or Preserved Pineapples (N.E.S.) (SITC 05893) totaled $36.7M in August 2026, imported from 31 countries.
Importers of Prepared or Preserved Pineapples (N.E.S.) paid $290K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 0.79% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataProcessed pineapple products not elsewhere specified — including sliced, crushed, or chunk forms packed in syrup or brine — occupy a distinct niche in the canned and preserved fruit trade, separate from pineapple juice. The N.E.S. designation means classification here applies only when the product does not fall under a more specific preserved-pineapple heading, making precise product specification critical at entry. FDA reviews imported prepared fruit products for labeling compliance, added-sweetener declarations, and food-safety standards under its import alert and prior-notice programs. Importers should confirm whether added sugar or spirit content affects both classification and labeling obligations before shipment.

'Not elsewhere specified' means this heading captures prepared or preserved pineapple products that do not fit a more specific tariff description — for example, pineapple juice is classified separately. Importers must confirm the exact form, packing medium, and sugar content to ensure the product genuinely belongs here rather than under a more specific provision.
The heading explicitly covers products whether or not they contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, so the presence of syrup does not change the SITC classification. However, FDA labeling rules require accurate declaration of added sugars on the nutrition facts panel, and the packing medium (water, juice, or syrup) must be disclosed on the principal display panel.
