2008.99.91 - Other

This HTS category, 2008.99.91, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved fruits, nuts, and edible plant parts that do not fit into more specific subheadings within Chapter 20. It serves as a residual category for items that have undergone preparation or preservation, potentially with added sugar, sweetening matter, or spirit, but are not elsewhere specified.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2008.99.80 (Pulp), is crucial. While pulp refers specifically to the processed, often mashed or pureed, form of fruits or vegetables, 2008.99.91 covers a broader range of preparations. This can include items that are chopped, sliced, diced, or even whole, as long as they are preserved and not defined by the specific characteristics of pulp.

Within 2008.99.91, further subdivision is made to refine classification. Subcategory 2008.99.91.10 specifically identifies bean cake, bean stick, miso, and similar fermented soybean products, acknowledging their distinct nature. The remaining items that do not qualify for this specific subdivision fall under the residual 2008.99.91.90, representing the broadest scope within this "Other" classification.
