2008.30.35.00 - Orange

This HTS classification, 2008.30.35.00, specifically designates orange pulp that has been prepared or preserved. This includes oranges that have undergone processing such as pulping, which separates the juice and pulp from the peel and seeds. The classification applies regardless of whether sugar, other sweetening matter, or spirit has been added, provided the primary characteristic remains that of orange pulp. Such products are intended for consumption as food or as an ingredient in the preparation of other food items.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2008.30.37.00 (Other), is crucial. While both fall under the broader category of prepared or preserved citrus fruit pulp, 2008.30.35.00 is exclusively for *orange* pulp. The "Other" category encompasses pulp from other types of citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, lemons, limes, or tangerines, that are also prepared or preserved. Therefore, the key differentiator is the specific species of citrus fruit from which the pulp is derived.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Products classified under 2008.30.35.00 are considered definitively classified at this level. Classification relies on the confirmation that the product is indeed pulp derived from oranges, prepared or preserved, and not solely whole fruits, juice, or other forms of preserved citrus not specifically defined as pulp.
