0813.20.20.10 - Dried, whether or not pitted

This HTS classification, 0813.20.20.10, specifically designates dried prunes that have undergone pitting. This category encompasses prunes that have had their pits removed, making them ready for direct consumption or further processing without requiring pit removal. The "dried" aspect indicates that the moisture content of the fruit has been significantly reduced, a common preservation method for prunes.

The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in the removal of the pit. Its sibling category, 0813.20.20.90, covers dried prunes that *retain* their pits. Therefore, the presence or absence of the pit is the critical factor in differentiating between these two at this level.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories. Classification under 0813.20.20.10 is definitive once it is established that the product is dried prunes and they have been pitted. This aligns with the broader scope of Chapter 8, which deals with edible fruits and fruit-peels, preserved by various means including drying.
