0806.10.40.35 - Black varieties

This HTS classification covers fresh black grapes that are imported into the country. These grapes must also meet the specific entry window requirement, being entered during the period from April 1 to June 30, inclusive, in any year. This category falls under the broader heading of "Grapes, fresh or dried" and is specifically for fresh grapes that are not red or white varieties.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all are fresh grapes entered between April 1 and June 30, this node exclusively pertains to those with black skin. It differs from 0806.10.40.15, which covers fresh red grapes, and 0806.10.40.25, which is for fresh white grapes. The "Other" sibling category (0806.10.40.45) is for any fresh grapes that do not fit the red, white, or black descriptions.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the key classification criterion here is the color of the grape's skin, specifically identifying it as black. Importers should ensure that the fresh grapes being declared possess a predominantly black hue to fall under this specific HTS code.
