This heading covers fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, whether whole, in pieces or crushed, including mixtures thereof, prepared or preserved otherwise than by any of the processes specified in other Chapters or in the preceding headings of this Chapter.
It includes, inter alia :(1) Almonds, ground‑nuts, areca (or betel) nuts and other nuts, dry‑roasted, oil‑roasted or fat‑roasted, whether or not containing or coated with vegetable oil, salt, flavours, spices or other additives. (2) "Peanut butter", consisting of a paste made by grinding roasted ground‑nuts, whether or not containing added salt or oil. (3) Fruit (including fruit‑peel and seeds) preserved in water, in syrup, in chemicals or in alcohol. (4) Fruit pulp, sterilised, whether or not cooked. (5) Whole fruits, such as peaches (including nectarines), apricots, oranges (whether or not peeled or with the stones or pips removed) crushed and sterilised, whether or not containing added water or sugar syrup but in a proportion insufficient to render them ready for direct consumption as beverages. When rendered ready for direct consumption as beverages by addition of a sufficient quantity of water or of sugar syrup, these products fall in heading 22.02. (6) Cooked fruit. However, fruit cooked by steaming or boiling in water and frozen remains in heading 08.11. (7) Stems, roots and other edible parts of plants (e.g., ginger, angelica, yams, sweet potatoes, hop shoots, vine leaves, palm hearts) conserved in syrup or otherwise prepared or preserved. (8) Tamarind pods in sugar syrup. (9) Fruit, nuts, fruit-peel and other edible parts of plants (other than vegetables), preserved by sugar and put up in syrup (e.g., marrons glaces or ginger), whatever the packing. (10) Fruit preserved by osmotic dehydration. The expression "osmotic dehydration" refers to a process whereby pieces of fruit are subjected to prolonged soaking in a concentrated sugar syrup so that much of the water and the natural sugar of the fruit is replaced by sugar from the syrup. The fruit may subsequently be air-dried to further reduce the moisture content. The products of this heading may be sweetened with synthetic sweetening agents (e.g., sorbitol) instead of sugar. Other substances (e.g., starch) may be added to the products of this heading, provided that they do not alter the essential character of fruit, nuts or other edible parts of plants.
The products of this heading are generally put up in cans, jars or airtight containers, or in casks, barrels or similar containers.
The heading also excludes products consisting of a mixture of plants or parts of plants (including seeds or fruits) of different species or consisting of plants or parts of plants (including seeds or fruits) of a single or of different species mixed with other substances such as one or more plant extracts, which are not consumed as such, but which are of a kind used for making herbal infusions or herbal "teas" (e.g., heading 08.13, 09.09 or21.06).
The heading further excludes mixtures of plants, parts of plants, seeds or fruit (whole, cut, crushed, ground or powdered) of species falling in different Chapters (e.g., Chapters 7, 9, 11, 12), not consumed as such, but of a kind used either directly for flavouring beverages or for preparing extracts for the manufacture of beverages (Chapter 9 or heading 21.06).
