0810.10.40.20 - Of a kind for processing as described in statistical note 3 to this chapter 🖩

This HTS classification, 0810.10.40.20, specifically covers strawberries that are certified organic and are intended for further processing, as detailed in statistical note 3 to Chapter 8. This note outlines the criteria for goods classified under this provision, emphasizing their use in manufacturing or industrial processes rather than for direct retail consumption. Examples would include strawberries destined for jam production, freezing, juicing, or other culinary ingredient applications where their organic certification is a key attribute.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0810.10.40.40 ("Other"), is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling category encompasses any other strawberries not meeting the specific criteria of this provision, such as non-organic strawberries for fresh consumption or those otherwise not intended for processing as defined. Therefore, the presence of official organic certification and the stated intent for processing are the defining factors for goods falling under 0810.10.40.20.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions at this level depend solely on meeting the requirements of certified organic status and the intended use for processing as defined by the relevant statistical note.
