2007.99.48.00 - Apple, quince and pear

HTS code 2007.99.48.00 specifically classifies jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut purées, and fruit or nut pastes, obtained by cooking, that are derived from apples, quinces, and pears. This category encompasses products where these specific fruits are the primary ingredient, processed to achieve a puréed or paste-like consistency. These preparations may or may not have added sugar or other sweetening matter, but their defining characteristic is the origin from apples, quinces, or pears.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2007.99.48.00 focuses solely on apple, quince, and pear preparations. Other codes at this level, such as 2007.99.50 (Guava and mango), 2007.99.55.00 (Papaya), and 2007.99.60.00 (Strawberry), are designated for preparations derived from those specific fruits. The residual category, 2007.99.65, would cover similar preparations from fruits not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying preparations of apples, quinces, and pears that fit the description of jams, jellies, marmalades, purées, or pastes obtained by cooking. Proper classification relies on confirming the fruit content and the processing method.
