Import Tips
• Verify that the mixture contains at least two distinct fruit/nut components preserved primarily by sugar to qualify under this code
• Provide lab analysis confirming sugar preservation method (drained, glacé or crystallized) and net weight per package
• Avoid misclassification as confectionery (Chapter 17) by emphasizing drained fruit/nut base over added chocolate coatings
