Brine-Plumped and Oven-Dried Prunes from Japan
These prunes are soaked in a salt brine solution to plump and preserve the fruit, then oven-dried to a moist consistency suitable for long-term storage and culinary use. They are classified under tariff item 0813.20.00 as dried prunes, as the brine treatment is for preservation and the final product retains the character of dried fruit.

Import Tips
• Ensure the prunes are fully dried and not in a state unsuitable for immediate consumption, as this could shift classification to heading 08.12
• Declare the net weight accurately, as duties are assessed on the weight of the goods
• Verify that any brine treatment does not exceed preservation purposes, per Chapter Note 3
