0811.90.40.00 - Papayas

This HTS code, 0811.90.40.00, specifically classifies papayas that have been preserved by freezing, whether or not they contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. This category falls under the broader heading of "Fruit and nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter," and more narrowly within the "Other" subheadings of this chapter.

Distinguishing this code from its siblings, it is crucial to note that 0811.90.40.00 is exclusively for papayas. Other frozen fruits and nuts within this general category are separately classified. For instance, frozen bananas and plantains are found under 0811.90.10.00, while various berries like blueberries and boysenberries have their own distinct subheadings. Similarly, specific tropical fruits such as cashew apples, mameyes colorados, sapodillas, soursops, and sweetsops are classified under 0811.90.25.00, and coconut meat has its own entry at 0811.90.30.00. The defining characteristic of 0811.90.40.00 is the specific identification of the fruit as papaya.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under 0811.90.40.00 is the confirmed identification of the frozen fruit as papayas, adhering to the general conditions of freezing and the potential inclusion of sweeteners as outlined in the parent category.
