2007.99.45.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 2007.99.45.00, encompasses jams derived from fruits or nuts that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. It applies to cooked preparations of fruit or nuts, with or without added sugar or other sweetening matter, intended for consumption as spreads or ingredients. The defining characteristic is the absence of specific enumeration for the fruit or nut content, meaning any jam not listed under more specific fruit types falls into this residual category.

Distinguishing this subheading from its siblings is crucial. While sibling categories like 2007.99.05.00 (Lingonberry and raspberry) or 2007.99.10.00 (Strawberry) specifically identify jams made from particular fruits, 2007.99.45.00 serves as a catch-all for all other fruit and nut jams. For instance, a jam made from mango, guava, or fig would be classified here, provided it meets the general definition of jam and is not a pureé or paste. The classification relies on identifying the primary fruit or nut content and checking against the more specific fruit-based entries first.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is therefore final at this level. The practical application involves carefully examining the ingredient list of the imported product to determine the primary fruit or nut. If that fruit or nut is not explicitly named in a preceding subheading under 2007.99, then classification under 2007.99.45.00 is appropriate, assuming all other criteria for jam classification are met.
