2006.00.60.00 - Citrus fruit; peel of citrus or other fruit

This HTS classification, 2006.00.60.00, specifically covers citrus fruits and the peel of citrus or other fruits that have been preserved by sugar. This preservation can take various forms, including draining, glacéing, or crystallizing. The defining characteristic of goods under this subheading is their preparation for consumption or further processing by sugar preservation, where the primary component is either a citrus fruit itself or its peel.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 2006.00.70.00, which encompasses other fruits and nuts preserved by sugar, excluding citrus fruits and their peels. While both fall under the broader chapter of preserved vegetables, fruit, nuts, and other plant parts, 2006.00.60.00 is narrowly focused on citrus-derived products. It is also distinct from 2006.00.90.00, which serves as a residual category for other preserved items not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 2006.00.60.00 has no further subcategories. Classification within this subheading is determined by the presence of sugar preservation and the identification of the product as either a citrus fruit or the peel of citrus or other fruits. Examples include candied orange peel, glacéed lemon slices, or crystallized grapefruit segments.
