Chapter 07 classification notes

Fresh produce imports require phytosanitary certificates in almost every destination. USDA APHIS (US), MAFF (Japan), DAFF (Australia), and MPI (NZ) run the strictest regimes; seasonal import prohibitions are common.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Dried pulses classify under 0713, not Chapter 10 (cereals). Frozen vegetables stay in Chapter 07 (0710) even if blanched; preserved-in-vinegar vegetables move to Chapter 20.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
