HS Code:
The 'Other fruit, fresh' category, classified under HS Code 0810, encompasses a variety of fresh fruits that are not individually specified under other HS codes. This includes fruits like berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blackberries), kiwifruit, durians, and other exotic or less commonly traded fresh fruits. This category is significant in global trade due to the increasing demand for diverse and exotic fruits driven by consumer preferences for healthy and varied diets.
