0804.10.80.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0804.10.80.00, specifically covers "Other" dates within the broader category of Dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens, fresh or dried. Within the grouping of dates, this subheading is designated for dates that do not fall under the more specific "Whole, with or without pits" designation. Therefore, it encompasses dates that have undergone some form of processing beyond simply being whole, such as pitted or chopped dates.

The distinction from the sibling category "Whole, with or without pits" is crucial. The sibling category is strictly for dates presented in their complete form, irrespective of whether the pit is present or has been removed. In contrast, this "Other" subheading is where dates that have been processed further, such as having their pits entirely removed and potentially being further prepared (e.g., chopped, sliced, or mashed), would be classified. This aims to capture processed date forms that are not otherwise explicitly listed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. Classification decisions at this level rely on the physical state and processing of the dates. When faced with a shipment of dates, it is essential to first determine if they are "Whole, with or without pits." If they are not, and have undergone any processing that alters their wholeness, they would then be directed to this "Other" classification.
