0810.20 - Raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and loganberries:

This category encompasses a specific group of berries, namely raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and loganberries, when presented in their fresh state. These fruits are characterized by their aggregate structure and often soft texture, distinguishing them from other fresh fruits classified within Chapter 8. The scope of this classification is confined to these particular berry types, excluding other commonly grouped berries or drupes.

While this category covers a range of berries, it is important to differentiate it from its siblings. For instance, strawberries (0810.10) are a distinct type of berry. Similarly, currants and gooseberries (0810.30) and cranberries and blueberries (0810.40), despite also being berries, fall under separate HTS subheadings. Kiwifruit (0810.50) and durians (0810.60), also listed as siblings, are entirely different fruit types.

Within the 0810.20 classification, further subdivisions exist to account for temporal variations in the entry of raspberries and loganberries. Subcategory 0810.20.10 specifically addresses these fruits when entered during a defined period from September 1st to June 30th of the following year, likely reflecting seasonal trade patterns or potential tariff rate quotas. The residual category, 0810.20.90, covers all other raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and loganberries not falling under the temporally specific provision.
