If sulfured or preserved beyond provisional preservation
Dried grapes treated with preservatives like sulfur dioxide for long-term storage move to Chapter 20 as prepared fruits, no longer solely provisionally preserved.
If not sufficiently dried and still fresh
Grapes with higher moisture content intended for immediate consumption classify as fresh under 0806.10, not dried.
