0810.90.46.70 - Rambutan

This classification covers fresh rambutans, a tropical fruit characterized by its distinctive hairy or spiky exterior, typically red or yellow in color, and its sweet, translucent flesh. Rambutans are botanically classified within the Sapindaceae family.

Within the broader category of "Other fruit, fresh," this specific subheading distinguishes rambutans from other similarly unique fruits such as cactus pears, dragon fruit, jackfruit, lychees, and pomegranates, all of which possess different physical attributes, botanical origins, and distinct culinary uses. The classification is based on the specific botanical identification and readily discernible external characteristics of the fruit.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under HTS code 0810.90.46.70. Therefore, all fresh rambutans, regardless of specific varietal differences or minor cosmetic imperfections that do not fundamentally alter their identity as rambutans, will be classified under this code. This ensures a uniform approach to the customs treatment of this particular fruit.
