0804.30.40.10 - Certified organic 🖩

This HTS classification, 0804.30.40.10, specifically covers pineapples that are not reduced in size and are presented in crates or other packages, with the additional stipulation that they are certified organic. This designation applies to fresh or dried pineapples meeting these packaging and organic certification criteria, falling under the broader category of dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens.

The distinguishing feature of this category, 0804.30.40.10, from its sibling, 0804.30.40.90 ("Other"), lies in the explicit requirement for organic certification. While both classify pineapples not reduced in size and packaged in crates or other containers, this particular code demands verifiable proof of organic production methods, which may include specific documentation or certifications from accredited bodies. This certification is crucial for preferential tariff treatment and compliance with organic import regulations in the destination country.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is specific enough to identify the product based on its form (whole, not reduced in size), packaging (crates or other packages), and production method (certified organic). Users should ensure that the organic certification meets the requirements of the importing country's organic standards to avoid classification issues.
