Tutti-frutti from papaya classified under Tariff 20060000 as sugar-preserved fruit preparation
The authority ruled that Tutti-frutti, a product of papaya, is correctly classified under Chapter/Heading/Sub-heading/Tariff item 20060000, as it aligns with the process involving treatment with boiling water and impregnation with sugar for preservation, falling under preparations of vegetables, fruits, nuts, or other plant parts preserved by sugar in the Customs Tariff Act.
Issues: Classification of Tutti-frutti under HSN code 08111010 or 20060000.
Analysis: The applicant, a partnership firm manufacturing Tutti-frutti, sought an advance ruling on its classification under HSN codes 08111010 and 20060000. Tutti-frutti, primarily candied raw papaya, involves a process including boiling in water and cooking with sugar. The applicant argued that since both cooking and adding sugar are essential, HSN code 08111010 is the correct classification. However, the authority analyzed the process and relevant tariff items.
The authority examined the Customs Tariff Act, which states that for a commodity to be classified under tariff heading 08.11, it must be fruits or nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, and may contain added sugar. The explanatory notes further clarified that fruits cooked by boiling and frozen fall under this heading. However, the applicant's process did not indicate freezing after boiling, leading to the conclusion that Tutti-frutti does not qualify under tariff heading 08.11.
On the other hand, Chapter 20 covers preparations of vegetables, fruits, nuts, or other plant parts preserved by sugar. The authority referred to explanatory notes stating the process involving treatment with boiling water and impregnation with sugar for preservation. The products under this chapter include whole fruits, sections, fruit-peel, and other plant parts preserved by sugar. The process of preparing Tutti-frutti aligns with this description, leading to the classification under CTH 20060000.
Therefore, the authority ruled that Tutti-frutti, being a product of papaya, is correctly classified under Chapter/Heading/Sub-heading/Tariff item 20060000.
