2008.99.13.00 - Pulp

This classification, HTS 2008.99.13.00, specifically covers "Pulp" prepared or preserved fruits, nuts, or other edible plant parts, not elsewhere specified or included, and not part of a mixture classified under subheading 2008.19. The term "pulp" refers to the soft, pulpy mass obtained from fruits or vegetables, often by grinding, mashing, or sieving, and typically retains some of the original texture and moisture content. This category is distinct from other preparations that may be more solid, dried, or processed into distinct forms.

As a leaf node, HTS 2008.99.13.00 has no further subdivisions. Its sibling category, 2008.99.15.00, encompasses "Other" preparations of fruits, nuts, and other edible plant parts that do not fall under the specific definition of pulp or other explicitly defined subheadings within Chapter 20. Therefore, classification within 2008.99.13.00 hinges on the product being a recognizable fruit or vegetable pulp, distinct from more solid, dehydrated, or otherwise processed forms that would be classified elsewhere.
