Overview
HTS 0810 encompasses a broad range of "Other fruit, fresh," specifically excluding those varieties detailed in preceding headings within Chapter 8. This category serves as a residual for fresh fruits that do not fit into more specific classifications such as apples, pears, citrus fruits, or grapes. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the fruit must be presented in its fresh state, meaning it has not undergone significant processing such as drying, canning, or freezing.
Distinguishing HTS 0810 from its sibling categories at the Chapter 8 level is crucial. While other headings within Chapter 8 might focus on specific fruit types (e.g., bananas, pineapples, melons) or fruits prepared in particular ways, 0810 is reserved for those fresh fruits not otherwise specified. This ensures that a comprehensive range of fresh fruits entering international trade can be accurately classified.
Within HTS 0810, further subdivisions are made to distinguish various types of "other fruits." For instance, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, cranberries, blueberries, and kiwifruit are all assigned specific subheadings to facilitate more granular tariff and trade statistics. This breakdown allows for precise identification of the commodity, aiding customs authorities in duties assessment and trade monitoring. The residual category, 0810.90, further captures any remaining fresh fruits not detailed in these more specific subheadings.
