Overview
This HTS code, 0810.40.00.29, pertains to cultivated blueberries, specifically those that are not certified organic. It encompasses blueberries grown through cultivation methods, often referred to as highbush varieties, which are distinct from wild or naturally occurring berries. These are fresh fruits intended for consumption and are classified under Chapter 8, which covers edible fruits and certain fruit peels.
The primary distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of certified organic blueberries, which are classified under HTS code 0810.40.00.26. Therefore, any cultivated blueberries that do not bear an official organic certification fall into this residual classification. The classification hinges on the presence or absence of this specific certification, rather than on inherent physical characteristics or cultivation methods, as both organic and non-organic cultivated blueberries share common botanical and agricultural traits.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. All fresh, cultivated (including highbush) blueberries that are not certified organic are consolidated under this specific code. This ensures a comprehensive classification for all fresh blueberries, with a clear separation based on their organic status.
