Glacé Cherries from Canada
Glacé cherries are whole or halved cherries preserved by cooking in a sugar syrup until candied and drained, resulting in a glossy, translucent fruit used in baking and confectionery. They fall under HTS 2006.00.70.00 as 'other fruit' preserved by sugar (drained, glacé or crystallized), distinct from mixtures or fruit peels.

Import Tips
• Verify sugar preservation method and ensure drained/glacé status via lab testing to confirm classification under 2006.00.70.00
• Provide certificates of origin and sugar content documentation to avoid misclassification as fresh or differently processed fruits
• Check for pesticide residues common in cherries; non-compliance can lead to FDA holds or rejections
