Fruit and nuts provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption
7 declarable lines
Heading 0812 covers fruit and nuts that are provisionally preserved, such as in brine or sulfur dioxide, and are not suitable for immediate consumption. The lines first separate cherries from other goods, then split other goods into mixtures, citrus, figs, pineapples, strawberries, and a residual other line.
Products in this heading
- Cherries in brine
- Strawberries in sulfur dioxide

How to choose the right subheading
- Identify the fruit or nut type, because cherries have their own line and all other goods start under 0812.90.
- Check whether the good is a mixture of two or more fruits, which uses 0812.90.10.00.
- For a single fruit other than cherries, choose the line for citrus, figs, pineapples, or strawberries if named.
- Use 0812.90.90.00 for other provisionally preserved fruit or nuts not named in the specific lines.
- Confirm the preservation is provisional and the good is unsuitable for immediate consumption; frozen, dried, or fully prepared products go elsewhere.
