They fall under HTS 0809.30.40.10 as fresh peaches entered at any time other than the primary harvest period, typically imported during off-season months for year-round availability.

Import Tips

Verify entry timing against USDA seasonal charts to confirm 'any other time' classification and avoid misclassification as duty-free fresh peaches

Require phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries confirming freedom from pests like Mediterranean fruit fly, common in peach imports

Ensure peaches remain fresh and unpackaged in bulk cartons; processing like peeling disqualifies from fresh fruit heading
