0814.00.10.00 - Orange or citron

This HTS category, 0814.00.10.00, specifically covers the peel of oranges and citrons. These citrus fruits' peels, when prepared in fresh, frozen, dried, or provisionally preserved forms (such as in brine or sulfur water), fall under this classification. The scope includes the outer rind of these fruits, often used in confectioneries, flavorings, or as a raw material for industrial processing.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 0814.00.40.00 exclusively classifies lime peel, and 0814.00.80.00 encompasses all other types of citrus or melon peel not otherwise specified, this particular subheading is precisely for orange and citron peel. The distinction lies in the specific type of fruit from which the peel is derived.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification within 0814.00.10.00 is therefore definitive for qualifying orange or citron peel. The determining factor for classification here is the origin of the peel. Any peel from fruits other than oranges or citrons, even if prepared in a similar manner, would be classified under the "Other" subheading (0814.00.80.00).
