0813.40.40.00 - Peaches

This HTS category, 0813.40.40.00, specifically covers dried peaches. Within Chapter 8's broader scope of fruits and nuts, this classification focuses on processed peaches that have undergone dehydration. The dried form is characterized by significantly reduced moisture content, enhancing preservation and altering texture and flavor.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note that while 0813.40.10.00 covers dried papayas, 0813.40.30 pertains to dried cherries, and 0813.40.80.00 addresses dried tamarinds. Furthermore, the residual category 0813.40.90.00 is for any other dried fruits not specifically enumerated within this heading. This classification of peaches stands alone based on the fruit's botanical origin and its preparation as dried.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0813.40.40.00. Classification at this level is determined by the singular characteristic of the product being dried peaches. Therefore, any dried fruit product that is botanically a peach and has been dried, regardless of processing methods like slicing or pitting, will fall under this specific HTS code.
