0813.40.20.10 - Wild blueberries

This category encompasses wild blueberries, which are distinct from their cultivated counterparts due to their origin and potentially their characteristics. Classification under this heading signifies that the blueberries are dried and are not among the fresh or frozen fruits classified in headings 0801 through 0806. This specific subdivision is reserved for blueberries harvested from natural, uncultivated sources.

When classifying dried blueberries, it is crucial to differentiate between wild and cultivated varieties. This heading, 0813.40.20.10, exclusively applies to wild blueberries. The sibling category, 0813.40.20.20, covers cultivated blueberries, including those commonly known as highbush blueberries, which are the result of intentional agricultural practices. The final sibling, 0813.40.20.60, accounts for any other dried berries not otherwise specified within this sub-section.

As a leaf node, this HTS classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes is on accurately identifying the "wild" characteristic of the dried blueberries. This distinction is primarily based on the source and cultivation method, with wild blueberries being naturally occurring and not subject to commercial farming techniques.
