2008.97.90.35 - Other

This HTS classification, 2008.97.90.35, specifically covers mixtures of fruits, nuts, and other edible plant parts, otherwise prepared or preserved, that are packed in a liquid medium within airtight containers and contain peaches or pears. These preparations are not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 20 and may contain added sugar, other sweetening matter, or spirit. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these mixtures do not fall into more specific subheadings that might distinguish them by the primary fruit or nut content (e.g., mixtures predominantly of tropical fruits, or specific nut mixtures).

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2008.97.90.30, hinges on the packaging size. While both are mixtures packed in a liquid medium in airtight containers and containing peaches or pears, 2008.97.90.30 specifically applies to those containers each holding less than 1.4 kg. Therefore, 2008.97.90.35 is for these same types of mixtures when packed in containers exceeding that 1.4 kg weight threshold.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2008.97.90.35. Classification decisions at this level will therefore rely heavily on confirming that the product is indeed a mixture, prepared or preserved, packed in a liquid medium in an airtight container, contains peaches or pears, and does not meet the weight criteria for its sibling classification.
