0811.90.25.00 - Cashew apples, mameyes colorados, sapodillas, soursops and sweetsops

This HTS classification, 0811.90.25.00, specifically covers certain tropical and subtropical fruits that have been prepared by freezing, with or without the addition of sugar or other sweetening matter. The fruits included under this subheading are cashew apples, mameyes colorados, sapodillas, soursops, and sweetsops. The preparation method of steaming or boiling in water prior to freezing is also encompassed within this category, distinguishing it from fresh fruit imports.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings, which represent other types of frozen fruits. For instance, while 0811.90.10.00 covers frozen bananas and plantains, and 0811.90.20 pertains to frozen blueberries, this subheading is exclusively for the aforementioned tropical varieties. Similarly, categories for frozen coconut meat (0811.90.30.00) or specific berries like boysenberries (0811.90.22.00) and cranberries (0811.90.35.00) are distinct. The classification hinges on the precise botanical identity of the fruit being imported.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 0811.90.25.00. Therefore, any frozen preparation of cashew apples, mameyes colorados, sapodillas, soursops, or sweetsops, regardless of whether sugar has been added, will be classified here. Importers should ensure their product precisely matches one of the named fruits to benefit from this specific classification.
