0806.10.40.15 - Red varieties

This HTS category, 0806.10.40.15, specifically classifies fresh red grape varieties that are imported or exported during the period of April 1st to June 30th, inclusive, within any given year. This detailed sub-classification is crucial for accurate duty assessment and statistical reporting, ensuring that only fresh red grapes meeting these temporal and varietal criteria are included.

The defining characteristic of this category is the color of the grapes – red. It differentiates itself from its sibling categories which cover other colorations of fresh grapes imported within the same timeframe. Specifically, 0806.10.40.25 covers white varieties, 0806.10.40.35 covers black varieties, and 0806.10.40.45 encompasses any other fresh grape varieties not fitting into the red, white, or black designations.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary classification criteria for goods falling under 0806.10.40.15 are the physical characteristic of being a red grape, its fresh state, and its entry during the specified quarterly period. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate documentation reflecting these attributes to comply with customs regulations.
