0804.50.60.55 - Other

This HTS category, 0804.50.60.55, encompasses fresh mangoes that do not meet the criteria for certified organic status. It falls under the broader classification for guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens, fresh or dried, specifically when these fruits are entered into commerce at any time other than a period that might be subject to specific seasonal duties or preferences. The "Other" designation signifies that these are fresh mangoes not specifically classified elsewhere within the immediate subheadings, particularly distinguishing them from organically certified varieties.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 0804.50.60.45 ("Certified organic"), lies in the absence of organic certification for the mangoes classified here. While both cover fresh mangoes, this subheading is for those that do not hold an official organic certification, potentially due to cultivation methods, processing, or lack of certification documentation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0804.50.60.55 is therefore definitive for fresh mangoes that are not certified organic and are imported at times not subject to other specific tariff treatments within this chapter. The key classification determinant remains the fresh state of the mango and the lack of an organic certification.
