2008.30.48.00 - Other

This HTS category, 2008.30.48.00, covers mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas) and similar citrus hybrids that are otherwise prepared or preserved. This encompasses a broad range of preparations beyond simple fresh fruit, such as those canned, frozen, dried, or preserved in sugar or spirit. The key identifier is the specific type of citrus fruit – mandarins and their hybrids – prepared in a manner not otherwise specified within Chapter 20.

Within the broader classification of "Citrus fruit: Other," this category focuses specifically on mandarins. It distinguishes itself from the sibling category "Satsumas, in airtight containers" by encompassing all preparations of mandarins and their hybrids, not solely those packed in airtight containers. While satsumas are a type of mandarin, this code's scope is wider, covering various preservation methods and presentations for all mandarin varieties.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 2008.30.48.00 depends on correctly identifying the fruit as a mandarin or hybrid thereof and confirming it has been prepared or preserved in a manner not covered by more specific provisions within Chapter 20. Examples include mandarins preserved in syrup, dried mandarins, or mandarin segments preserved in brine.
