Prepared or Preserved Cranberries & Lingonberries

Cranberries and lingonberries processed beyond simple freezing or drying — including sweetened, syrup-packed, or spirit-preserved forms — enter under a single US tariff line, 2008930000. Canada leads imports of this heading, followed by Switzerland, Colombia, France, and Mexico, reflecting both proximity-driven supply and European specialty product flows. FDA oversight applies at entry, and importers should confirm labeling compliance with added-sugar and sweetener declarations. Classification hinges on distinguishing these preparations from cranberry juice (Chapter 20, heading 2009) and dried cranberries (heading 0813).
