Notes for Chapter 08 — Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons
Notes
1. This Chapter does not cover inedible nuts or fruits.
2. Chilled fruits and nuts are to be classified in the same headings as the corresponding fresh fruits and nuts.
3. Dried fruit or dried nuts of this Chapter may be partially rehydrated, or treated for the following purposes:
(a) For additional preservation or stabilisation (for example, by moderate heat treatment, sulphuring, the addition of sorbic acid or potassium sorbate),
(b) To improve or maintain their appearance (for example, by the addition of vegetable oil or small quantities of glucose syrup), provided that they retain the character of dried fruit or dried nuts.
4. Heading 08.12 applies to fruit and nuts which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state.
Vietnam trade in subheading 0803.90

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| Flow | 2023 | 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 311 mn USD | 375 mn USD | +20% |
| Imports | 807,171 USD | 2 mn USD | +88% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 311 mn USD where Vietnam reported 310 mn USD — 1.00× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 807,171 USD where Vietnam reported 2 mn USD — 0.48× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0803.90 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 3 US lines under 0803.90.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 0803.90.00.25 | Other › Certified organic(kg) | Free |
| 0803.90.00.35 | Other › Other › Fresh(kg) | Free |
| 0803.90.00.45 | Other › Other › Dried(kg) | Free |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.
Already terminated: 9903.01.72 +46%
The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
0803.90 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0803.90-100 | Other › 1 Fresh › (1)If imported during the period from 1st April to 30th September(KG) | 20% | — | 10% | 3.6% | — |
| 0803.90-100 | Other › 1 Fresh › (2)If imported during the period from 1st October to 31st March(KG) | 25% | — | 20% | 4.5% | — |
| 0803.90-200 | Other › 2 Dried(KG) | 3% | Free | Free | Free | Free |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line.
