0805.50.30.20 - Certified organic

This classification pertains to certified organic Tahitian limes, Persian limes, and other varieties of limes belonging to the *Citrus latifolia* species. These are fresh or dried limes that have met the stringent requirements of organic certification standards. The primary distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the verified organic status, which necessitates adherence to specific cultivation, handling, and processing practices that prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other" (0805.50.30.40), is crucial. While the sibling category encompasses any limes of the *Citrus latifolia* variety that are *not* certified organic, this node specifically isolates those that have successfully undergone and passed organic certification. Therefore, importers must possess valid organic certification documentation to correctly classify their goods under this heading.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. The classification ends at this level, meaning that all certified organic limes falling under the *Citrus latifolia* species are encompassed here. The primary focus for classification is the origin of the goods and the presence of the required organic certification.
