Last updated: August 2026 dataFew headings in Chapter 20 present as complex a classification landscape as 200897, which covers mixtures of fruit, nuts, and other plant parts prepared or preserved by any means not elsewhere specified — spanning canned fruit cocktail, prepared cereal-based products, and specialty mixed-fruit packs. The US schedule uses a matrix of criteria — whether the mixture contains specific fruits (peach, pear, orange, grapefruit), whether it is packed in liquid in airtight containers, and whether it incorporates cereal products — to assign goods across ten distinct 10-digit lines. Thailand leads US imports under this heading, with Canada and Belgium also significant sources.

Classification within 200897 requires a step-by-step analysis: first, determine whether the product contains cereal components (directing it toward the cereal-product lines such as 2008971020 or 2008972550); second, identify whether specific fruits — peach, pear, orange, or grapefruit — are present; and third, confirm whether the product is packed in liquid in an airtight container. Each combination of these factors points to a different 10-digit line. Given the complexity, a binding ruling request to CBP is strongly advisable for novel or multi-ingredient products.
Yes — if a shipment includes distinct product types (for example, a peach-and-pear mixture packed in liquid alongside a dry mixed-nut-and-fruit blend), each product must be classified and entered separately under its correct 10-digit line. Combining them under a single line to simplify entry can constitute a misclassification. Consult a licensed customs broker to structure the entry correctly when a shipment spans multiple product forms.
