0804.10.20.10 - Certified organic

This HTS category, 0804.10.20.10, specifically classifies whole dates, with or without pits, that are packed in individual units weighing no more than 4.6 kilograms, including the weight of the immediate container. This precise weight threshold is a critical determinant for inclusion within this sub-classification. The "Certified organic" designation further refines this category, indicating that the dates have met specific standards for organic cultivation and processing as recognized by relevant authorities.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0804.10.20.90, which covers all other whole dates packed in units weighing not more than 4.6 kg that are *not* certified organic. Therefore, the key differentiating factor is the presence of a recognized organic certification for the product. Both categories fall under the broader heading of dates packed in similar weight configurations but differ based on their production and certification status.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends here, with the specific combination of being whole, containing or not containing pits, packed in units under 4.6 kg, and being certified organic being the definitive criteria for entry into this code.
