0810.10.40 - If entered at any other time

This HTS category, 0810.10.40, encompasses fresh strawberries that do not meet the specific date entry criteria outlined for sibling categories. It serves as a catch-all for strawberries imported or exported outside of the designated peak season for certain entries. The primary characteristic for classification within this node remains the fresh, uncooked state of the fruit.

This classification distinguishes itself from 0810.10.20, which specifically covers strawberries entered during the period of June 15th to September 15th, inclusive, in any year. Therefore, if fresh strawberries are entered outside of this defined seasonal window, they would fall under the broader "If entered at any other time" designation of 0810.10.40.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the categorization of these off-season strawberries. These subcategories, "Certified organic" and "Other," allow for a more precise classification based on the cultivation methods. The "Certified organic" subdivision is for strawberries that have met the stringent requirements of organic certification, while the "Other" subdivision captures all remaining fresh strawberries that do not possess such certification.
