Diced Peaches and Pears in Extra Light Syrup from Germany
Canned diced peaches and pears preserved in extra light syrup, in airtight containers each less than 1.4 kg, ideal for fruit salads. This qualifies for HTS 2008.97.90.30 as a liquid-packed mixture explicitly containing peaches or pears, outside other preserved fruit categories. Retail-oriented small packaging distinguishes it from bulk preserves.
