2008.99.28.00 - Figs 🖩

This HTS category, 2008.99.28.00, specifically classifies prepared or preserved figs. This includes whole figs, fig pieces, or fig pulp that have undergone processes such as canning, freezing, drying, or being preserved in sugar or spirits. The key characteristic is that the product is primarily figs, prepared or preserved in a manner not specifically listed under other subheadings within 2008.

Within the broader "Other" preparations of fruit, nuts, and other edible plant parts, this subheading distinguishes itself by its singular focus on figs. Unlike sibling categories that enumerate specific fruits like apples (2008.99.05.00), avocados (2008.99.10.00), or cashew apples and related fruits (2008.99.23.00), this code is exclusively for figs. It functions as a specific designation for figs that do not fit into more general mixture categories or earlier, fruit-specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2008.99.28.00 relies on the definitive identification of the commodity as figs that have been prepared or preserved. The absence of specific subdivisions indicates that all forms of prepared or preserved figs, regardless of their specific preparation method (beyond those covered by other HTS headings), are consolidated here. This ensures a clear and singular point of classification for this particular fruit.
