2008.97.90.30 - In containers each holding less than 1.4 kg

This HTS classification covers mixtures of fruits, nuts, and other edible plant parts that have been prepared or preserved. These preparations may contain added sugar, other sweetening matter, or spirit. Crucially, this specific subheading applies when these mixtures are packaged in containers, each holding less than 1.4 kilograms. The products are further defined by being other than those classified under subheading 2008.19, and not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 20.

The distinguishing feature of this subcategory, 2008.97.90.30, lies in its container size limitation. While sibling category 2008.97.90.35 encompasses "Other" mixtures in this preparation type, it does not specify a container weight restriction. Therefore, if a mixture of prepared fruits and plant parts, in liquid medium and airtight containers, falls under the "other mixtures" grouping, the decisive factor for classification here is whether each individual container weighs less than 1.4 kg.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level based on the specific preparation method, the nature of the mixture, and the weight of the individual packaging. This specificity is vital for accurate import and export declarations, ensuring compliance with customs regulations based on the precise packaging configuration.
