0810.90.27 - Other berries; tamarinds

This HTS category, 0810.90.27, encompasses "Other berries; tamarinds." It serves as a residual category within the broader classification of "Other fruit, fresh." This means it captures a variety of berries that do not fall under more specific subheadings within Chapter 08, as well as the fruit of the tamarind tree. The key characteristic for classification here is the fresh state of the fruit.

When classifying goods under this subheading, it is important to distinguish it from its sibling, 0810.90.46, which is also designated as "Other." Subheading 0810.90.27 specifically calls out berries and tamarinds, whereas the sibling category is a broader, more general residual for any other fresh fruits not otherwise classified. Therefore, if a fruit is identified as a berry or a tamarind, it should be directed to 0810.90.27 before considering the more general "Other" sibling.

The subcategories within 0810.90.27 further refine the classification of these fruits. The subheading is divided into "Tamarinds" (0810.90.27.30) and "Berries" (0810.90.27.60). This distinction allows for more precise accounting and statistical tracking of these specific types of fruits. Classification at this level will depend on the definitive identification of the imported product as either tamarinds or a type of berry not covered by more specific tariff provisions.
