Overview
This HTS classification, 0811.90.30.00, specifically covers frozen coconut meat that has been either uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water. This category is inclusive of frozen coconut meat to which sugar or other sweetening matter has been added. The primary characteristic for classification here is the form of the coconut meat and its frozen state, irrespective of whether it has undergone a simple cooking process or has been sweetened.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings involves recognizing that 0811.90.30.00 is dedicated solely to coconut meat, whereas other codes within 0811.90 cover a variety of other fruits and berries such as bananas, plantains, blueberries, and cranberries, among others. Each sibling category is defined by the specific type of fruit or berry it enumerates, ensuring precise classification based on botanical identity and preparation method.
As 0811.90.30.00 represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions (subcategories) under this specific code. This means that all frozen coconut meat meeting the criteria of being uncooked or cooked, and potentially sweetened, will fall directly under this designation. Classification within this node hinges on confirming the product is indeed coconut meat and that it meets the specified preparation and preservation (frozen) requirements.
