2006.00.70.00 - Other fruit and nuts

This HTS category, 2006.00.70.00, encompasses fruits and nuts that have been preserved by sugar. This includes a wide range of preparations where the sugar is used to preserve, drain, glaze, or crystallize the fruit or nut. Examples within this classification can include candied nuts, glacé fruits, and fruits preserved in syrup that have undergone a significant sugar treatment. The key defining characteristic is the preservation method involving sugar.

This subcategory is distinct from its sibling, 2006.00.60.00, which specifically covers citrus fruits and the peels of citrus or other fruits preserved by sugar. Therefore, 2006.00.70.00 is for non-citrus fruits and nuts that fit the sugar preservation criteria. It also differentiates itself from 2006.00.90.00, which would likely cover other miscellaneous sugar-preserved preparations not falling under the more specific categories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code relies on identifying the product as a fruit or nut, confirmed to be preserved by sugar through methods such as draining, glacé, or crystallization, and ensuring it does not fall into the more specific citrus or peel categories.
