0702.00.20.52 - Cherry

This classification covers cherries that are fresh or chilled. These are fruits of the *Prunus* genus, typically red or dark red when ripe, and characterized by a single stone within. The classification specifically applies to those entered during designated import periods, aligning with seasonal availability and trade flow management for this commodity.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings is crucial for accurate reporting. While all fall under the broader category of fresh or chilled tomatoes (0702.00), this specific sub-heading is exclusively for cherries. Other siblings at this level, such as "Grape" (0702.00.20.62) and "Roma (plum type)" (0702.00.20.66), refer to different types of fruits or vegetables classified under the same broader heading due to shared import regulations or timeframes. The "Round, of a kind described in statistical note 2 to this chapter" (0702.00.20.81) and "Other" (0702.00.20.92) siblings are for specific, distinct categories or general residual classifications, respectively, and do not encompass cherries.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for cherries under HTS Code 0702.00.20.52. Therefore, the classification terminates here, and all fresh or chilled cherries meeting the entry period requirements would fall under this specific ten-digit code. The definitive criterion for classification under this code is the nature of the product (cherry) and its entry date, as dictated by the parent and preceding headings.
