2008.99 - Other:

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

Subheading 2008.99 encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved fruits, nuts, and edible plant parts not elsewhere specified within Chapter 20. This broad category applies to products that have undergone processing, such as canning, freezing, drying, or maceration, and may contain added sugar, sweetening matter, or spirit. The key characteristic is that these items do not fit into more specific subheadings within 2008, nor are they classified under other chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

This category is distinct from its siblings such as subheading 2008.91 (Palm hearts), 2008.93 (Cranberries and lingonberries), and 2008.97 (Mixtures). While these sibling categories are designated for specific fruits or product types, 2008.99 serves as a residual category for all other prepared or preserved edible plant parts. Therefore, if a fruit or plant part, prepared or preserved, is not explicitly listed in another subheading under 2008.99 or elsewhere in Chapter 20, it will likely fall under this "Other" classification.

The subcategories within 2008.99 provide further specificity for commonly encountered items, breaking down the broad "Other" category into more manageable groupings. These include specific fruits like apples, avocados, bananas, berries, dates, figs, grapes, guavas, and lychees, among others. This granular breakdown allows for more precise classification based on the type of fruit or plant part, facilitating accurate duty assessment and trade data collection.
