0806.20 - Dried:

This category, HTS Code 0806.20, encompasses grapes that have undergone a drying process, resulting in a significant reduction of their moisture content. This includes a variety of dried grape products commonly found in commerce, excluding those that are fresh.

The key distinction for this category lies in the processing method. It is differentiated from its sibling, HTS Code 0806.10, which specifically covers fresh grapes that have not been dried. Therefore, any grape product that has been dehydrated, whether through natural sun-drying, mechanical dehydration, or other methods, falls under this 0806.20 classification.

Within this category, two primary subdivisions exist to further refine classification. The first, often referred to as "Raisins," represents a specific type of dried grape characterized by its wrinkled appearance and concentrated sweetness. The second, under HTS Code 0806.20.90.00, is for "Other dried grapes" that do not meet the specific definition or common understanding of raisins but are nonetheless dried grapes. This ensures that all forms of dried grapes are appropriately accounted for in the tariff schedule.
