0805.90.01.00 - Other, including kumquats, citrons and bergamots

This HTS category, 0805.90, encompasses "Other" citrus fruits that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within Chapter 8, specifically under heading 0805. This classification primarily includes lesser-known but still commercially recognized citrus varieties. Notable examples falling under this designation are kumquats, known for their edible peel, and citrons and bergamots, often used for their zest or essential oils rather than direct consumption as whole fruits.

The distinction between this category and its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike the more common oranges (0805.10), mandarins and their hybrids (0805.20), grapefruit and pomelos (0805.40), and lemons and limes (0805.50), the fruits classified here do not possess their own dedicated subheadings. Therefore, if a citrus fruit does not fit the detailed descriptions of those more specific categories, it will likely be directed to this "Other" residual classification.

As 0805.90.01.00 represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this specific code relies on identifying that the fruit is indeed a citrus variety and that it does not qualify for any of the more precisely defined categories within heading 0805. The inclusion of kumquats, citrons, and bergamots serves as illustrative examples of the types of fruits intended for this residual classification.
