Overview

This HTS classification, 0804.40.00.40, specifically pertains to avocados that are not classified as "Hass avocados and avocados determined by the Secretary of Agriculture to be Hass-like" and are also not "certified organic." It serves as a residual category for all other fresh or dried avocados falling under the broader heading of 0804.40.

This code distinguishes itself from its sibling, 0804.40.00.20, which is exclusively for avocados that have received organic certification. Therefore, importers and exporters must ascertain if an avocado shipment meets the criteria for organic status before applying this "Other" classification. The "Other" designation indicates that the avocado does not fall into any more specific sub-classifications available within the HTS for this product.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0804.40.00.40. Classification decisions at this level will primarily depend on the absence of specific certifications (organic) or recognized varietal characteristics (Hass or Hass-like) as defined by the relevant agricultural authorities.
