0810.40.00.30 - Cranberries

This HTS classification specifically covers cranberries, scientifically classified under the genus *Vaccinium*. This category encompasses fresh cranberries, which are tart, red berries commonly used in culinary applications such as juices, sauces, and baked goods. The classification is applicable to whole, unprocessed cranberries intended for import or export.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Blueberries" (0810.40.00.10), by the distinct botanical and physical characteristics of cranberries. While both are fruits of the *Vaccinium* genus, cranberries are typically smaller, firmer, and possess a distinctly sour flavor profile compared to the sweeter, larger blueberries. The sibling category "Other" (0810.40.00.40) would encompass other fruits of the *Vaccinium* genus not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 0810.40.00.30 is definitive for fresh cranberries. It is important to ensure that the goods presented for classification are indeed cranberries and are in a fresh state, as processed or preserved forms would fall under different HTS headings.
