CHAPTER

08 — Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons

In plain English

This category covers the peels of citrus fruits or melons, including watermelons, in various states such as fresh, frozen, dried, or temporarily preserved using brine, sulphur water, or other preservative solutions. The classification system groups all these forms of fruit and melon peels together under a single entry. There are no further subdivisions within this group, meaning all listed types of preserved or untreated peels fall into the same category.

Chapter 08 classification notes

Phytosanitary certificates required in most jurisdictions. Shelf-life and fumigation requirements apply to some species (e.g., methyl bromide fumigation for some US stone-fruit imports).

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Sugared / crystallised fruit belongs in Chapter 20 (2006). Frozen fruit with added sugar also moves to 20. Nut butters / pastes: Chapter 20 (peanut butter 2008.11) rather than 0802.
