HTS Chapter 8 - Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons - organizes 381 tariff classifications in the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

Chapter 8 sits within Section II (Vegetable Products), which groups commercially related product categories together.
The average general duty rate across all tariff lines in this chapter is 4.9%, with the highest individual rate reaching 29.8%. Duty burden varies widely across tariff lines within this chapter, classification precision matters. Below, each line links to its individual detail page showing General, Special (FTA), and Column 2 rates.
