Certified Organic Wild Blue Frozen Blueberries from Japan
These certified organic wild lowbush blueberries are frozen without added sugar, harvested from natural uncultivated bogs in Maine. They fall under HTS 0811.90.20.30 as cultivated (including highbush) certified organic frozen blueberries, though wild varieties are sometimes grouped here for statistical purposes when certified. Ideal for smoothies, baking, or toppings.

Import Tips
• Verify USDA NOP or equivalent organic certification documentation for every shipment to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper cold chain maintenance with temperature logs to prevent thawing, which could shift classification to fresh fruit
• Declare exact sugar content (if any) and varietal type; misdeclaration of 'cultivated' vs wild can lead to penalties
