Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0805 when importing or exporting fresh or dried citrus fruits, such as a shipment of fresh oranges or lemons. Proper classification ensures compliance with customs regulations and accurate tariff application.

When deciding between the subheadings, consider the specific type of citrus fruit. For example, if you're dealing with fresh mandarins, you should use HS-6 080521. However, if your shipment includes clementines, then HS-6 080522 is the correct choice.
