0808.30.40.15 - Certified organic 🖩

This HTS category specifically covers fresh pears that are certified as organic. The "certified organic" designation signifies that these pears have been grown, harvested, and processed in accordance with specific organic farming standards and regulations, which are typically verified by an accredited certifying body. This classification is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately declare goods subject to specific organic import/export requirements and potential duty preferences.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other," is straightforward. While the "Other" category would encompass fresh pears not meeting the specific organic certification, this entry is exclusively for those that have successfully undergone and passed the organic certification process. This ensures that only pears confirmed to meet organic standards are classified here, differentiating them from conventionally grown pears.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends at this specific point, focusing on the precise determination of fresh, organic pears. Classification at this level relies on verifiable documentation of organic certification, alongside the physical characteristics of the fruit itself, ensuring accurate duty assessment and compliance with relevant agricultural and trade regulations.
