Overview
This HTS category, 0810.40.00.24, specifically classifies "Wild" blueberries. These are fresh blueberries that grow naturally in the wild, as opposed to those that have been deliberately cultivated and harvested from managed plants. The distinction is primarily based on their origin and method of production.
This "Wild" classification differentiates itself from its sibling category, "Cultivated (including highbush) blueberries." The sibling category encompasses blueberries produced from domesticated varieties, often grown in orchards or specialized farms for commercial purposes, such as highbush blueberries which are a prominent cultivated type. Therefore, the key classification criterion here is the distinction between naturally occurring wild fruits and those that are intentionally farmed.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories for this specific entry. Classification at this level is considered definitive for wild, fresh blueberries. When encountering shipments, the determination of "wild" versus "cultivated" will rely on the grower's declaration, supporting documentation, and potentially physical characteristics if significant differences are apparent, although the primary determinant is the declared origin of growth.
