0811.90.50.00 - Pineapples

This HTS category, 0811.90.50.00, specifically classifies frozen pineapples, whether or not they have been cooked by steaming or boiling in water, and irrespective of whether added sugar or other sweetening matter is present. This classification falls under the broader heading for frozen fruits and nuts, uncooked or cooked, within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

While this category deals with frozen pineapples, its sibling categories encompass other specific fruits and nuts preserved in a similar frozen state. For instance, 0811.90.10.00 covers bananas and plantains, 0811.90.20 includes blueberries, and 0811.90.30.00 pertains to coconut meat.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, practical classification will depend on confirming the product is indeed frozen pineapple, adhering to the processing parameters of steaming or boiling, and noting the presence or absence of added sweeteners, all within the context of its frozen state.
