Last updated: April 2026 dataDrained, glacé, and crystallized fruits, nuts, citrus peel, and other plant parts preserved by sugar or other sweetening matter serve the confectionery, bakery, and specialty food sectors as both ingredients and finished retail products. The preservation method — whether drained in syrup, glacé (sugar-coated), or crystallized — affects moisture content, shelf life, and sometimes tariff classification at the HTS 10-digit level. FDA regulates these as processed foods, and USDA APHIS may impose phytosanitary requirements on certain plant-derived materials depending on the source country and plant species involved.

APHIS phytosanitary requirements can apply to preserved plant materials depending on the specific plant species, country of origin, and processing method. Thorough cooking or sugar-saturation processes may satisfy pest-risk mitigation requirements for some commodities, but importers should verify current APHIS regulations for the specific plant material before shipment.
These three preservation states describe different sugar-content levels and surface treatments: drained fruit retains syrup moisture, glacé fruit has a glossy sugar coating, and crystallized fruit has a dry sugar crust. At the SITC level they share a single heading, but HTS 10-digit classification and buyer specifications may distinguish among them, so the product description on commercial invoices should specify the exact form.
