HS Code 20089210: Mixtures of fruit or edible parts of plants, in airtight containers

When it comes to international trade, it is essential to have a standardized system for classifying goods. The Harmonized System (HS) code is a globally recognized system that categorizes products based on their characteristics.

This HS code is used to identify and classify a wide range of products, including canned tropical fruit salad, with the exception of apricots, citrus fruits, peaches, or pears. It is important to note that the HS code is used by customs authorities to determine the applicable duties and tariffs for imported goods.

The bound or most-favored-nation (MFN) duty rate for HS Code 20089210 is 5.6%. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. This ensures fair and equal treatment for all countries involved in international trade.
