HS-6 080430: Fruit, edible; pineapples, fresh or dried

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 080430 when importing or exporting fresh or dried pineapples. This code specifically covers whole pineapples, whether they are shipped fresh or processed into dried forms. For instance, if you're sending a shipment of fresh pineapples from Costa Rica to the U.S., this is the correct code to use.

This code falls under the broader 0804 heading, which includes other fruits like dates and figs. Unlike 080431, which covers canned pineapples, 080430 strictly pertains to fresh or dried pineapples, ensuring accurate classification for customs purposes.

When dealing with 080430, remember that it’s essential to distinguish between fresh and dried products. Fresh pineapples are typically shipped whole, while dried pineapples may come in slices or chunks, often packaged in bulk or retail-ready bags.

If you're unsure whether to classify your product under this code or a similar one, consider the product's condition and packaging. For example, dried pineapple rings would still fall under 080430, while pineapple juice would require a different classification.
