2007.99.10.00 - Strawberry 🖩

This HTS category, 2007.99.10.00, specifically classifies strawberry jams. As a subcategory within "Jams," it pertains to preparations of fruit obtained by cooking, whether or not sugar or other sweetening matter has been added, where the primary fruit ingredient is strawberry. These products are characterized by their thickened, spreadable consistency, resulting from the cooking and often gelling process of strawberries.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While other sibling codes cover jams made from lingonberries and raspberries (2007.99.05.00), currants and other berries (2007.99.15.00), or specific single fruits like apricots (2007.99.20.00) and cherries (2007.99.25.00), this code is exclusively for those where strawberries are the predominant or sole fruit component contributing to the jam's flavor and identity. The presence of other fruits in significant quantities would necessitate classification under a different HTS code, such as those designated for "other berry" jams.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2007.99.10.00 is therefore definitive for strawberry jams that do not fall under more specific provisions. The key determinant for classification remains the primary fruit ingredient.
