Thompson Seedless Raisins from Japan
Golden or brown dried grapes of the Thompson Seedless variety, typically sun-dried or artificially dehydrated to remove most moisture content. These raisins are classified under HTS 0806.20.90.00 as 'other dried grapes' since they do not qualify as currants or sultanas with specific protections. They are widely used in baking, cereals, and snacks.

Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 18% to confirm dried status; fresh grapes fall under 0806.10
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements for dried fruits
• Label accurately as 'raisins' or 'dried grapes' to avoid misclassification as processed products in Chapter 20
