Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200791 when importing or exporting jams, jellies, or marmalades made specifically from citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. For example, a shipment of orange marmalade in jars falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 200780, which covers jams and jellies made from fruits other than citrus. If you have a shipment of strawberry jam, you would classify it differently than citrus-based products.
Citrus fruit jams and jellies can be either sweetened or unsweetened, and they are typically cooked preparations. This means they undergo a cooking process to achieve the desired consistency and flavor.
When classifying your products, consider whether they are homogenized or not, as this can affect the appropriate HS code. For example, non-homogenized lemon jelly would fall under 200791.
