0813.20 - Prunes:

This HTS classification, 0813.20, specifically covers prunes. Prunes are dried plums, often distinguished by their dark color and wrinkled texture resulting from the dehydration process. They are classified under Chapter 8, which pertains to edible fruits and nuts.

Within the broader category of "Fruit, dried, other than that of headings 0801 to 0806; mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of this chapter," prunes are distinct from apricots (0813.10), apples (0813.30), other dried fruits (0813.40), and mixtures of nuts or dried fruits (0813.50). The key distinguishing factor for this heading is the specific type of fruit being dried.

The subcategories for 0813.20 further differentiate prunes based on their processing. 0813.20.10.00 accounts for prunes that have been soaked in brine and then dried, a specific preparation method that alters their texture and preservation characteristics. The remaining prunes, which have undergone different drying or processing methods, fall under 0813.20.20.
