Heading 0811 : Fruit and nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
This heading applies to frozen fruit and nuts which, when fresh or chilled, are classified in the preceding headings of this Chapter. (As regards the meanings of the expressions "chilled" and "frozen", see the General Explanatory Note to this Chapter.) Fruit and nuts which have been cooked by steaming or boiling in water before freezing remain classified in this heading. Frozen fruit and nuts cooked by other methods before freezing are excluded (Chapter 20). Frozen fruit and nuts to which sugar or other sweetening matter has been added are also covered by this heading, the sugar having the effect of inhibiting oxidation and thus preventing the change of colour which would otherwise occur, generally on thawing out. The products of this heading may also contain added salt.
