2008.30.10.00 - Of oranges, mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and similar citrus hybrids

This HTS category, 2008.30.10.00, specifically classifies prepared or preserved citrus fruit peel originating from oranges, mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings, and similar hybrid citrus varieties. These products are typically preserved through methods such as candying, sugaring, or brining, and may or may not contain added sugar or spirit. The key defining characteristic of this classification is the specific citrus fruit from which the peel is derived, focusing on the broader categories beyond lemons.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 2008.30.20.00 covers prepared or preserved peel specifically derived from lemons. The sibling category 2008.30.30.00 serves as a residual classification for prepared or preserved peel from any other citrus fruit not explicitly listed in the preceding subheadings. Therefore, the classification under 2008.30.10.00 relies on the precise identification of the citrus source as one of the specified types, excluding lemons which are itemized separately.

As this classification node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code hinges on the exact type of citrus fruit peel being imported or exported. For instance, candied orange peel for confectionery use, or brined mandarin peel intended for culinary applications, would fall under this designation, provided they originate from the enumerated citrus types and are not solely lemon peel.
