Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 081190 when importing or exporting frozen fruits and nuts that aren't specifically classified elsewhere. For example, frozen mixed berries or frozen jackfruit fall under this code, as they are edible fruits processed by freezing.
This code is distinct from HS-6 0811XX, which includes specific types of fruits like apples and bananas. While those are clearly defined, 081190 covers a broader range of fruits and nuts that don't fit neatly into other categories.
When considering 081190, think about products like frozen lychee, frozen pomegranate arils, or frozen dragon fruit. These items are uncooked and may or may not contain added sugars, making them suitable for this classification.
If you're dealing with frozen fruits that are specifically processed, like frozen fruit purees or fruit mixes with added sugars, you might need to look at other codes under the same heading. Always ensure the product description aligns with the classification.
