0811.90.80.97 - Other 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 0811.90.80.97, is a residual classification for frozen fruits and nuts that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, and may contain added sugar or other sweetening matter. It serves as a catch-all for products not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within Chapter 8, provided they meet the general conditions of being frozen and processed as described. The "Other" designation signifies that it captures a wide array of items that do not fit into more specific groupings.

Unlike sibling categories such as "Cherries," "Frozen mixes only of combinations of strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries or blackberries," or "Peaches," this category is not defined by a specific type of fruit or a particular mix. Instead, it encompasses any other fruit or nut product that has been frozen, whether raw or steamed/boiled, and potentially sweetened, which does not have its own dedicated HTS code at this level of detail. Therefore, the classification hinges on the absence of a more precise fit elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 0811.90.80.97 is determined by exclusion. Importers and exporters must first exhaust all other potential classifications within the broader categories of frozen fruits and nuts. If a particular frozen fruit or nut product, conforming to the general description of Chapter 8, does not fall under any more specific tariff provision, it will be classified here. Key considerations include ensuring the product is indeed frozen, has undergone the permitted preparation (uncooked or steamed/boiled), and that any added sweetening matter is within acceptable parameters for this chapter.
