2006.00.50.00 - Mixtures

This HTS category, 2006.00.50.00, specifically covers mixtures of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other plant parts that have been preserved by sugar. This includes goods that are drained, glacé (candied), or crystallized. The key characteristic for classification here is the combination of multiple types of preserved plant-based items within a single product.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Other" (2006.00.90.00), which would encompass single-ingredient preserved items that do not fit into other specific headings within Chapter 20. The "Mixtures" designation is critical when a product comprises two or more distinct components from the list of preserved vegetables, fruits, nuts, or other plant parts.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2006.00.50.00 is final for any product meeting the criteria of being a sugar-preserved mixture of various plant parts. Examples might include a fruit salad where individual fruit pieces are candied, or a mix of glacé fruits and nuts.
