Overview

This HTS category, 0804.40.00.20, specifically covers certified organic avocados that are classified as either Hass avocados or avocados determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to be Hass-like. The "certified organic" designation signifies that these fruits have been produced and handled in accordance with the standards set by an accredited organic certifying agent, ensuring they meet specific environmental and agricultural practices. This level of detail focuses on the method of cultivation and adherence to organic standards as the primary distinguishing factor.

In contrast to its sibling category, 0804.40.00.40 ("Other"), this classification is not for general avocados. The critical differentiator lies in the verifiable organic certification. While the parent category (0804.40) encompasses all avocados, this sub-classification narrows the scope to only those fruits that have successfully undergone and passed the rigorous auditing process required for organic certification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code is complete once the goods are identified as certified organic Hass or Hass-like avocados. Importers should ensure they have the necessary documentation from the certifying body to substantiate the organic status of the avocados being declared under this specific HTS code.
