Section II: Vegetable Products
Chapter 07: Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers
Chapter 07 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers and sits within Section II: Vegetable Products.
About Chapter 07
Chapter 07 contains 456 10-digit statistical lines grouped under 12 4-digit headings. Brokers, importers, and customs counsel use these codes to declare edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers on entry summaries (CBP Form 7501) and to look up the published Column 1, Special, and Column 2 rate notation.
General (Column 1) duty rates for ad-valorem lines in Chapter 7 range from 1.3% to 29.8%, with a median of 12.5%. About 5% of the chapter's lines (21 of 456) enter duty-free under the general rate. Special-rate notation (including USMCA, KORUS, AGOA, and GSP when authorized) and Chapter 99 measures can modify these base rates for qualifying shipments.
Product-code pages link into the Tandom Tariff Calculator with the base HTS code prefilled. Chapter 99 provision pages instead show mapped base codes and send you to a dated calculator scenario, which determines whether a measure applies from the entry facts. Tandom's data refreshes daily from USITC HTSUS, CBP CSMS, the Federal Register, and the Department of Commerce — the same authoritative sources the trade community files against.
