Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing added sugar and over 13° Brix
Sweetened citrus juices with high Brix value shift to heading 2009, as pulp with significant liquid content may be deemed juice rather than solid pulp.
If frozen rather than preserved by other means
Frozen fruit pulps fall under heading 0811 for frozen fruits, excluding preserved products processed without freezing.
If presented as homogenized jam for retail infant food
Homogenized citrus preparations for infants in containers ≤250g take precedence under 2007.10, overriding other fruit preserves.

• Ensure labeling distinguishes from retail infant food to prevent overlap with homogenized subheadings
• Check for any added preservatives that might trigger spirit-related exclusions
