0805.29.00.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," within heading 0805.29.00.00, encompasses citrus fruits that are hybrids of mandarins, tangerines, and satsumas, as well as similar citrus fruits, but do not fit the specific classifications of mandarins, tangerines, and satsumas themselves (0805.21.00) or clementines (0805.22.00.00). This "other" designation is crucial for capturing a variety of less common or more complex citrus hybrid varieties that share characteristics with mandarins but possess distinct traits.

The distinction lies in precise botanical and horticultural definitions. While mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas) are well-defined subgroups, and clementines are a specific hybrid known for their seedlessness and easy peeling, this category serves as a catch-all for other recognizable citrus hybrids that might be derived from or resemble these types but are not strictly classified as such. Examples could include specific, commercially recognized hybrids that have unique flavor profiles, peel textures, or seed structures that differentiate them from the more precisely defined sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification under 0805.29.00.00 relies on the importer's ability to demonstrate that the specific hybrid fruit in question does not meet the criteria for classification under the more specific subheadings within 0805.2. This often requires careful consideration of the fruit's origin, breeding, and distinguishing physical characteristics as per any relevant customs rulings or established classification practices for novel citrus varieties.
