Overview
This HTS category, 0804, encompasses a selection of tropical and subtropical fruits, both in their fresh and dried forms. The primary goods classified under this heading include dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens. These fruits are generally distinguished by their botanical characteristics and are recognized for their distinct flavors, textures, and culinary uses.
Unlike other categories within Chapter 8, such as 0801 (Coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashews, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled) or 0802 (Other nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled), 0804 specifically focuses on this particular group of fleshy fruits. The distinction is based on the botanical classification of the fruit and its typical presentation in trade.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The subcategories 0804.10 through 0804.50 distinguish between specific fruits or groups of closely related fruits, such as dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, and the combined grouping of guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens. This level of detail is crucial for accurate tariff application, duty assessment, and the collection of trade statistics, allowing for precise identification of the traded commodity.
