0811.20.40.30 - Blackberries 🖩

This HTS subcategory specifically covers frozen blackberries, which have been prepared by steaming or boiling in water, and may include added sugar or other sweetening matter. This classification is intended for situations where blackberries are imported or exported in this preserved state, distinct from fresh or simply frozen forms. The emphasis is on the preservation method (steaming or boiling) and the inclusion of sweeteners.

Within this level, the sibling category 0811.20.40.90 covers "Other" berries not specifically listed, such as, but not limited to, blueberries, cranberries, and boysenberries, that are also frozen and prepared by steaming or boiling, with or without added sugar. Therefore, this subcategory of blackberries is distinguished by its specific identification of the berry type, ensuring precise tariff application for this particular fruit.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification terminates at this point, meaning that any frozen blackberries processed as described will be classified under 0811.20.40.30, assuming they do not meet the criteria for the "Other" sibling category. Practical classification relies on verifying the commodity as blackberries and confirming the frozen state, the steaming or boiling preparation, and the presence or absence of added sweeteners.
