2008.97.90.92 - Prepared cereal products

This HTS classification, 2008.97.90.92, covers specific "other" prepared or preserved fruit, nut, or plant part mixtures that do not fall into more precisely defined subheadings. These are products where various edible plant components are combined and prepared, often with the addition of sugar, sweetening matter, or spirit, and are not elsewhere specified within Chapter 20. The key characteristic is that they are mixtures and not single-ingredient preparations.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2008.97.90.94 ("Other"), is a matter of specific classification rules and interpretation by customs authorities. Typically, further sub-designations at this level are based on subtle variations in composition, processing methods, or the primary nature of the components within the mixture. Without further subdivision, this code signifies a residual category for mixtures not fitting more granular descriptions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 2008.97.90.92 implies that the product has met all the preceding criteria for a mixture of prepared or preserved fruits, nuts, or other edible plant parts, and no more specific classification applies. Examples might include exotic fruit medleys in syrup, or nut and dried fruit mixes with added spirits, that do not meet the criteria for specific subheadings such as those for nuts or certain fruit preparations.
