0813.40.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 0813.40.90.00, serves as a residual classification for dried fruits that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within heading 0813. It encompasses a wide array of dried fruits, provided they are not classified under headings 0801 to 0806, and are not part of mixtures with nuts or other dried fruits of this chapter. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the fruit must be dried and not specifically enumerated elsewhere at this level.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is important to note that 0813.40.90.00 is a "catch-all" for dried fruits not otherwise specified. For instance, dried papayas (0813.40.10.00), cherries (0813.40.30), peaches (0813.40.40.00), and tamarinds (0813.40.80.00) are explicitly listed and would not be classified here. Similarly, if dried berries are enumerated under a distinct subheading, they would also be excluded from this residual category. The "Other" designation signifies its role in capturing all remaining dried fruits that meet the general criteria of chapter 8 and heading 0813 but lack a more precise classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories further detailing classifications. Therefore, the onus is on the classifier to determine if a dried fruit product, after considering all other specific provisions within heading 0813 and preceding headings, truly fits the residual nature of 0813.40.90.00. Examples of fruits that might fall into this category could include dried figs, prunes (unless specifically enumerated elsewhere), dried kiwifruit, or other less commonly traded dried fruits that are not specifically itemized.
