About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS subheading, 2008.99.45.00, specifically classifies pulp derived from papayas that have been otherwise prepared or preserved. This includes preparations where the fruit has undergone processing beyond simple freezing or canning, such as pureeing or mashing to create a pulp form. The inclusion of added sugar, other sweetening matter, or spirit does not preclude classification under this subheading, provided the papayas are the predominant component and the final product is not elsewhere specified.

While the immediate parent category, 2008.99, encompasses "Other" preparations not specified in previous subheadings within 2008.99, and sibling category 2008.99.50.00 also falls under "Other," this particular subheading (2008.99.45.00) is specifically designated for papaya pulp. The distinction lies in the precise nature of the processed papaya. Other "Other" categories within 2008.99 might cover different fruits or entirely different forms of processed papaya not in a pulp state.

As this subheading represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for papaya pulp under these specific conditions. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match the description of processed papaya in a pulp form and do not fall under more specific provisions for other fruits or preparations.
