2008.50.20.00 - Pulp

HTS 2008.50.20.00 specifically classifies apricot pulp. This category encompasses apricots that have been processed into a pulp form, typically by pureeing or crushing the fruit. The pulp may or may not contain added sugar, other sweetening matter, or spirit. It is intended for consumption or further processing into various food products.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 2008.50.40.00, which covers "Other" apricots prepared or preserved. While both fall under the broader heading for apricots, 2008.50.20.00 is specific to the pulped form, whereas "Other" would encompass apricots prepared or preserved in different ways, such as whole, halved, sliced, or diced, that are not yet processed into a pulp.

As a leaf node, HTS 2008.50.20.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code is primarily determined by whether the product is indeed pulp derived from apricots and adheres to the general provisions of heading 2008. For practical purposes, importers should ensure the product is identifiable as apricot pulp, considering its texture and processing method, to correctly utilize this classification.
