0409.00.00.10 - Comb honey and honey packaged for retail sale 🖩

This HTS category, 0409.00.00.10, specifically encompasses comb honey and honey that has been packaged for direct sale to consumers. Comb honey refers to honey still contained within its natural beeswax comb. Honey packaged for retail sale includes liquid, creamed, or granular honey presented in consumer-sized containers such as jars, squeeze bottles, or pre-portioned packets, ready for purchase by end-users. The key distinguishing factor here is the presentation for retail consumption, differentiating it from bulk honey intended for further processing.

As a leaf node within the "Other" designation for natural honey, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus is on clearly identifying the eligible products. Classification under this code hinges on the product being natural honey and its presentation as either intact comb honey or packaged for individual consumer purchase. Any natural honey not in its comb and not specifically packaged for retail sale, such as bulk honey in large drums or totes destined for industrial use or reprocessing, would fall under a different classification within Chapter 4.
