Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 200860 when importing or exporting prepared or preserved cherries, such as those in syrup or canned cherries. For instance, if you're shipping a batch of canned cherries packed in light syrup, this is the code you need.

This code specifically covers cherries that have been prepared or preserved in ways not covered by other headings, distinguishing them from fresh or frozen cherries classified elsewhere. For example, HS-6 200870 covers cherries in alcoholic preparations, which is a different classification.

When considering HS-6 200860, think about products like cherry pie filling or cherries preserved in sugar, which are not only delicious but also fall under this specific subheading. If your product contains added sweeteners or is preserved in a way not specified elsewhere, this is the right code.

If you're dealing with fruit preserves, remember that cherries prepared with added sugar or spirit still fit under this classification as long as they meet the criteria of being prepared or preserved in ways not elsewhere specified.
