Overview
This classification covers frozen cranberries, specifically *Vaccinium macrocarpum*, that are uncooked or have been cooked by steaming or boiling in water. The addition of sugar or other sweetening matter does not alter its classification within this category. This allows for the importation or exportation of cranberries preserved through freezing, making them available year-round for various food industry applications, including juices, sauces, and dried fruit products.
Within the broader category of "Other" frozen fruits, this HTS code is distinguished by its specific focus on cranberries. It differs from sibling categories such as bananas and plantains (0811.90.10.00), blueberries (0811.90.20), boysenberries (0811.90.22.00), and coconut meat (0811.90.30.00), which all represent distinct types of frozen fruit. While other berries are also classified under 0811.90, this particular subheading is reserved exclusively for the scientifically identified *Vaccinium macrocarpum* variety of cranberry.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0811.90.35.00. This signifies that all frozen forms of cranberries, whether sweetened or unsweetened, cooked or uncooked, fall directly under this specific HTS code. Classification therefore hinges on the accurate identification of the fruit as cranberries and its preparation method (frozen, with or without added sugar).
