No Sugar Added Pears from Germany
No sugar added pears are packed in water or unsweetened juice and labelled as having no added sugar. They are classified under tariff item 2008.40.90 as pears otherwise prepared or preserved, not elsewhere specified, since they are not pulp or chips and the absence of sweetener does not affect classification.
