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 pomegranates were replaced with mangoes)
Subheading 2008.97.10 covers mixtures of specific tropical fruits, which would apply if such fruits are present.
If the product is not a mixture but a single fruit preparation
Single fruit preparations are classified under other subheadings of heading 20.08, not under mixtures.
