Overview
This HTS classification, 0811.90.20, specifically covers blueberries that have been frozen, with or without the addition of sugar or other sweetening matter. This heading falls under Chapter 8, which broadly pertains to edible fruits and nuts. The "0811" series encompasses fruits and nuts that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, preserved by freezing, and do not typically fall into more specific categories within this section.
Distinguishing this code from its siblings, it is important to note that 0811.90.10.00 refers to bananas and plantains, while other siblings like 0811.90.22.00 (boysenberries) and 0811.90.35.00 (cranberries) cover distinct berry types. This specific blueberry classification is reserved for the *Vaccinium* genus, excluding those covered under more precise subheadings, and differentiates them from other frozen fruits and nuts.
The subcategories under 0811.90.20 provide further granularity for blueberries based on their origin. The distinction between "Wild" (0811.90.20.24) and "Cultivated (Including highbush)" allows for more precise tariff application, reflecting potential differences in trade flows, origin, and agricultural practices. This subdivision aids in the accurate reporting and statistical tracking of these specific types of frozen blueberries.
