About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 2008.40.00.40, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved pears that do not fall into the preceding subcategories within the 2008.40.00 classification. This implies that it serves as a residual category for pears prepared or preserved in ways not specifically delineated elsewhere, such as those not packaged in containers holding less than 1.4 kg.

The key differentiator for this "Other" classification lies in its exclusion from the sibling category, 2008.40.00.20, which specifically covers pears prepared or preserved in containers weighing less than 1.4 kg. Therefore, any prepared or preserved pears that are not packaged in these smaller containers would be classified under 2008.40.00.40, provided they meet the general requirements of Chapter 20 for preparations of fruit.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is determined by whether the prepared or preserved pears meet the criteria for the preceding sibling category. If they do not, and are otherwise prepared or preserved pears not elsewhere specified or included, they fall into this "Other" classification.
