1106.30 - Of the products of chapter 8:

This HTS category, 1106.30, specifically encompasses flour, meal, and powder derived from the products of Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System. Chapter 8 broadly covers edible fruits, nuts, and citrus fruit peel. Therefore, this subheading applies to processed forms of these agricultural products, such as dried fruits, excluding those already classified elsewhere.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 1106.10.00.00 covers similar processed products but is exclusively for dried leguminous vegetables of heading 0713. Similarly, HTS 1106.20 pertains to flour, meal, and powder derived from sago or roots and tubers of heading 0714. Category 1106.30, in contrast, focuses solely on materials originating from the fruits and fruit-like products listed in Chapter 8.

Within 1106.30, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. Subcategory 1106.30.20.00 is specifically designated for flours, meals, and powders derived from bananas and plantains, recognizing their distinct processing and commercial relevance. The remaining products within this broader category, such as those derived from apples, pears, or other Chapter 8 fruits, are classified under the residual subheading 1106.30.40.00, termed "Other." This tiered structure allows for precise identification based on the botanical origin of the processed product.
