Fresh Loganberries from Japan
Fresh loganberries, a hybrid of blackberry and raspberry (Rubus loganobaccus), are tart, reddish-purple berries sold fresh in pints for direct consumption. They fit HTS 0810.20.90 as 'other' fresh berries in this group, provided they remain untreated beyond basic handling and suitable for eating. Less common than blackberries but follow same fresh import criteria.
