Brine-Soaked and Dried Agen Prunes from Japan

Agen prunes are a premium French variety of plums that are soaked in brine to plump them up before being dried, resulting in soft, moist prunes with enhanced flavor and extended shelf life. This HTS code 0813.20.10.00 specifically covers prunes processed by soaking in brine and drying, distinguishing them from simply dehydrated prunes in other subheadings. They remain unsuitable for immediate consumption without further preparation due to the preservation treatment.
