Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0811 when importing or exporting frozen fruits like strawberries or raspberries, whether they are uncooked or cooked. This heading covers products that may also contain added sugar or sweeteners, making it essential to classify correctly based on the specific type of fruit.

When deciding between 081110 and 081120, consider the specific fruit type. For strawberries, use 081110. If your shipment includes raspberries, blackberries, or similar fruits, then 081120 is the correct choice. Ensure you know the exact fruit to avoid misclassification.

If your frozen fruit shipment doesn’t fit the specific categories of strawberries or raspberries, you might need to use 081190. This code covers other edible fruits and nuts that are uncooked or cooked, frozen, and not specifically listed in the other subheadings.
