0806.10.60.05 - Certified organic

This HTS category, 0806.10.60.05, specifically classifies fresh grapes that are certified organic. This designation means that the grapes have been grown, harvested, and processed in accordance with the standards set forth by a recognized organic certification body. Such certification typically involves adherence to strict rules regarding the absence of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and synthetic fertilizers throughout the cultivation and handling process.

The critical distinction of this subcategory lies in its "certified organic" status. While its parent categories cover fresh grapes more broadly, this node narrows the scope to only those shipments that can provide verifiable proof of organic certification. This differs from other potential classifications of fresh grapes which may not have undergone such rigorous organic scrutiny or may not be able to provide the necessary documentation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore. Therefore, classification under 0806.10.60.05 is final for fresh grapes that meet the organic certification requirements. Importers and exporters should ensure they possess the appropriate organic certification documents to support this classification upon entry.
