Last updated: April 2026 dataMixed-fruit preparations — such as tropical fruit salads, multi-fruit cocktails, and blended plant-part preserves — are distinguished from single-fruit headings by the presence of two or more fruit or plant-part components in a single pack. Classification here turns on whether the mixture is genuinely multi-component rather than a single fruit with minor additions, a distinction that customs authorities examine closely. FDA labeling rules for multi-ingredient prepared foods require ingredient declarations in descending order of predominance, and added-sweetener disclosures are mandatory regardless of whether sugar is present. The N.E.S. qualifier means any mixture not captured by a more specific mixed-fruit provision belongs here.

Customs classification of mixtures generally follows the rule that the product must genuinely consist of multiple components rather than a primary fruit with a trace or incidental addition. If one fruit overwhelmingly predominates, authorities may reclassify the product under the single-fruit heading. Importers should document the weight percentages of each component to support the mixture classification.
FDA requires that all ingredients be listed in descending order of predominance by weight, with added sugars declared on the nutrition facts panel. For multi-fruit products, each fruit variety must be named individually rather than listed generically as 'mixed fruit' if the label makes a specific fruit claim. Consulting a regulatory specialist before finalizing label artwork is advisable given the complexity of multi-ingredient food labeling.
