2008.99.29.00 - Grapes

This classification, HTS Code 2008.99.29.00, specifically designates "Grapes" that have been prepared or preserved in a manner not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 20. These preparations can include those with added sugar or other sweetening matter, or even those with added spirit. The key distinguishing factor is that the product consists primarily of grapes in a prepared or preserved form.

This subheading falls under the broader category of "Other, including mixtures other than those of subheading 2008.19" and "Other," indicating that it captures grape preparations that are not specifically enumerated in other distinct subheadings within 2008.99. For instance, it differs from sibling categories like "Apples" (2008.99.05.00) or "Avocados" (2008.99.10.00) by its specific commodity. Grapes are a distinct fruit and are classified separately from other fruits, even when prepared or preserved in similar ways.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification of grapes under 2008.99.29.00 is the most granular level for this particular product. Therefore, careful consideration should be given to the form in which the grapes are presented – whether fresh, dried, canned, frozen, or otherwise processed – to ensure correct classification under this specific HTS code.
