0810.30.00.00 - Black, white or red currants and gooseberries (other than kiwifruit)

This HTS category, 0810.30.00.00, specifically encompasses black, white, and red currants, as well as gooseberries. These are fresh fruits characterized by their small, typically round or oval shape, and often tart or slightly sweet flavor profiles. It is crucial to note that this classification explicitly excludes kiwifruit, even though they are sometimes grouped with berries in general parlance.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, consider the distinct botanical classifications. While 0810.20 covers raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and loganberries, and 0810.40.00 pertains to cranberries, blueberries, and other Vaccinium species, this HTS code focuses on the Ribes genus (currants) and Grossulariaceae family (gooseberries). The physical appearance and botanical origin are key discriminators.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 0810.30.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within this code is confirming the fresh status of the goods and verifying that they are indeed black, white, or red currants, or gooseberries, and not any of the other fruits mentioned in adjacent HTS categories or the excluded kiwifruit.
