HS Code for Raspberries

Fresh raspberries are classified under HS code 0810.20. Chapter 08 of the Harmonized System covers edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0810 is reserved for "other fruit, fresh" that are not specifically named in the earlier headings of the chapter (such as citrus, grapes, or melons). Subheading 0810.20 specifically groups raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and loganberries together. The classification is strictly dependent on the fruit being in a fresh state. Once the fruit is frozen, dried, or otherwise preserved, it moves to different headings within Chapter 08, making the physical state of the product at the time of customs entry the primary factor for classification.

Common Misclassification

Raspberries are frequently misclassified under HS code 0811.20 if they have been frozen, even if no sugar has been added. If the raspberries are provisionally preserved (for example, by sulfur dioxide gas or in brine) but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption, they fall under 0812.90. Dried raspberries are classified under 0813.40. It is critical to distinguish between the fresh state (0810.20) and these processed states.
