Whether the fruit is fresh or dried, which changes the subheading for the guava, mango and mangosteen group.
For dates and figs, whether the fruit is whole and the weight of the immediate container with its contents.
For pineapples, whether the fruit is reduced in size and whether it is in bulk or in crates or other packages.
