0810.90.46.30 - Dragon fruit

This HTS classification, 0810.90.46.30, specifically designates "Dragon fruit" when imported or exported fresh. Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is characterized by its vibrant pink or yellow skin and speckled white or red flesh. It falls under the broader category of "Other fruit, fresh" within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which encompasses fruits and nuts, prepared or preserved.

Within the "Other" subcategory of fruits, dragon fruit is distinct from its siblings. For instance, cactus pears (0810.90.46.20) are the fruit of various cactus species, while jackfruit (0810.90.46.40) is a large, spiky tropical fruit with a distinct fibrous texture. Lychee (0810.90.46.50) has a rough, leathery rind and sweet, translucent flesh, and pomegranates (0810.90.46.60) are known for their leathery skin and numerous arils. Rambutan (0810.90.46.70) is easily identifiable by its hairy red or yellow exterior. This specific classification ensures that dragon fruit is not commingled with these other distinct fruits during customs processing.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 0810.90.46.30. Therefore, all fresh dragon fruit imports and exports will be classified under this specific code. Classification relies on the clear identification of the fruit's botanical and physical characteristics as per the established HTS nomenclature.
