2008.30.20.00 - Of lemons

This HTS classification covers prepared or preserved lemons, excluding those classified under other specific headings. This includes lemons that have undergone processes such as pickling, brining, or preserving in sugar or spirit. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the predominant fruit, which must be lemons.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2008.30.10.00, which specifically enumerates other citrus fruits such as oranges, mandarins, clementines, and their hybrids. While both fall under the broader "Citrus fruit: Peel" classification, 2008.30.20.00 is exclusively for lemons. The "Other" category, 2008.30.30.00, serves as a residual category for any citrus fruit peel preparations not specifically listed.

As a leaf node, 2008.30.20.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, precise classification relies on identifying the product as prepared or preserved lemon peel. Examples may include candied lemon peel for confectionery use, pickled lemon peel for culinary applications, or preserved lemon segments. The intent and processing methods will be critical in determining correct classification.
