0813.50.00.20 - Containing only fruit

This HTS category, 0813.50.00.20, specifically classifies mixtures of dried fruits that contain *only* fruit ingredients. This means that while the mixture may comprise various types of dried fruits, it must not include any nuts or other non-fruit components to fall within this designation. The scope is limited to those mixtures where the sole constituents are dried fruits, such as a blend of raisins, apricots, figs, and dates.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Heading 0813.50.00.40 covers similar mixtures, but is specifically reserved for those containing *only* nuts. The sibling category 0813.50.00.60, "Other," serves as a residual classification for mixtures of nuts and dried fruits that do not exclusively comprise fruit or exclusively comprise nuts. Therefore, the defining characteristic of 0813.50.00.20 is the absolute exclusion of nuts and any other non-fruit elements from the mixture.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Consequently, the focus for classification rests entirely on ensuring the mixture meets the criteria of containing solely dried fruits. Importers and exporters should carefully review the precise composition of any mixture of dried fruits to ensure accurate classification under this specific code, preventing misdeclaration and potential customs issues.
