HS-4 · Heading
2006 — Vegetables, fruit, nuts, fruit-peel and other parts of plants, preserved by sugar (drained, glace or crystallised)
Chapter 20: Preparations of vegetables, fruit
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2006 when importing or exporting vegetables, fruits, nuts, or other plant parts that are preserved by sugar, such as candied fruits or glazed nuts. For example, a shipment of candied orange peels would fall under this classification.
When determining the correct subheading, consider the form of the product. If it’s a blend of fruits preserved in syrup, it still fits under 2006. However, if you encounter products that are simply dried without sugar, they may belong to a different heading.
The distinction between HS-6 200600 is essential when considering whether your product is drained, glace, or crystallised. If your product is a mix of these forms, ensure it meets the criteria for this specific classification to avoid misclassification.
