Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the mixture includes any fruit from the list in that subheading (e.g., if mandarin oranges were replaced with citrus fruit)
Subheading 2008.97.10 covers mixtures of specific tropical fruits, including citrus fruit, which would apply if such fruits are present.
If the product is sold as a juice rather than a fruit preparation with solid pieces
Fruit juices are classified in heading 20.09, not 20.08, if the product is liquid.
