2007.99.25.00 - Cherry

This HTS category, 2007.99.25.00, specifically covers jams made from cherries. These are prepared fruit products resulting from the cooking of cherries, with or without the addition of sugar or other sweetening matter. The key characteristic is the transformation of cherries into a jam-like consistency, suitable for consumption as a spread or ingredient.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, it is important to note that while many fruit jams fall under the broader 2007.99 subheading, this specific code is solely for cherry-based jams. For example, sibling categories exist for lingonberry and raspberry (2007.99.05.00), strawberry (2007.99.10.00), and apricot (2007.99.20.00), each representing distinct fruit origins. Cherries are differentiated here by their unique botanical identity and resultant flavor profile.

As 2007.99.25.00 is a leaf node within the HTS structure, it does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, any product meeting the definition of cherry jam will be classified under this code. Classification decisions should focus on confirming the primary fruit ingredient as cherry and the processed state as jam, obtained through cooking.
