Frozen fruits and nuts not covered by named headings — including specialty tropical fruits, mixed frozen fruit blends, and frozen nuts — land in this residual category, which serves as a catch-all for the growing variety of IQF products entering the US market. The heading covers items whether or not they contain added sugar or other sweetening matter, a provision that accommodates sweetened frozen mango chunks, lychees, and similar value-added preparations. FDA regulates all such products as processed foods, and importers of frozen tropical fruits should be prepared for pesticide residue sampling, which FDA applies based on commodity-specific risk profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a frozen fruit blend containing multiple named and unnamed fruits be classified here?

Mixed frozen fruit preparations are generally classified based on the essential character of the blend or, if no single component dominates, may fall under a residual or mixed-preparation heading. If the blend contains fruits that each have their own specific SITC heading (e.g., strawberries), the classification may depend on which component predominates by weight or value. For complex blends, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable to avoid misclassification.

Are frozen nuts commonly traded under this heading, and what distinguishes them from other nut categories?

Frozen nuts are relatively uncommon in trade compared to dried or roasted nuts, but they do appear — particularly in food-service supply chains where freshness and texture are priorities. The key distinction from other nut headings is the frozen preservation state; nuts that are roasted, salted, or otherwise prepared fall under prepared/preserved nut categories. Freezing alone, without further preparation, keeps nuts within this heading.
