0809.30.40 - If entered at any other time

This HTS classification, 0809.30.40, specifically addresses peaches and nectarines, including their fresh forms, when they are entered into customs outside of the designated period covered by sibling categories. This distinction is crucial for import and export duties, as specific tariff rates often apply based on the season of entry for certain agricultural products.

Unlike the sibling category 0809.30.20.00, which is reserved for peaches and nectarines entered between June 1 and November 30, inclusive, this subcategory encompasses entries outside of those months. This means that peaches and nectarines imported or exported during the winter, spring, or early summer (prior to June 1) would fall under this classification.

Further subdivisions exist to distinguish between the two fruit types. Subcategory 0809.30.40.10 specifically covers fresh peaches, while 0809.30.40.90 is designated for fresh nectarines. This granular breakdown allows for more precise duty application and statistical tracking of these distinct, yet closely related, stone fruits.
