2008.70.10.40 - Other

This HTS category, 2008.70.10.40, specifically designates "Other" prepared or preserved nectarines. This classification encompasses nectarines that have been processed beyond simple preservation or sugar addition, and which do not fit into more specific subheadings within the broader "Peaches, including nectarines" grouping. Examples include nectarines prepared in a manner not elsewhere specified, potentially involving unique processing techniques or mixtures that do not align with other defined categories.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2008.70.10.20, which covers nectarines packaged in containers each holding less than 1.4 kilograms. Therefore, 2008.70.10.40 applies to nectarines prepared or preserved in containers weighing 1.4 kilograms or more, or any other preparation not explicitly covered by the sibling subheading. The weight of the immediate container is the primary differentiating factor at this level.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification under 2008.70.10.40 is final for any prepared or preserved nectarines that meet the general criteria of Chapter 20 and do not fall under more granular specifications within the tariff schedule. The focus remains on the specific form and presentation of the prepared nectarine product when determining its proper classification.
