0813.10.00.00 - Apricots

This HTS category, 0813.10.00.00, specifically covers dried apricots. For classification purposes, "dried" generally refers to apricots that have undergone a process to remove a significant portion of their natural moisture content, thereby preserving them for extended storage and transport. This includes apricots that have been sun-dried, dehydrated through mechanical means, or otherwise treated to achieve a dried state.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While heading 0813 encompasses a range of dried fruits and nut mixtures, 0813.10.00.00 is exclusively for apricots. For example, prunes (0813.20) are dried plums, apples (0813.30.00.00) are distinctly different fruits, and other dried fruits (0813.40) would include a variety of other individual dried fruits not specifically enumerated. Mixtures of nuts or dried fruits, classified under 0813.50.00, would involve combinations of multiple items.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0813.10.00.00. Therefore, the classification for dried apricots at this level is definitive. Any goods that meet the description of dried apricots should be classified here, provided they are not part of a mixture or otherwise specifically provided for elsewhere in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
