HS Code for Citrus marmalade

Citrus marmalade is classified under HS code 200791, a designation that covers cooked preparations of citrus fruits. Chapter 20 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Heading 2007 specifically includes jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut purées, and fruit or nut pastes, obtained by cooking, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. The subheading 200791 is reserved specifically for citrus fruit preparations. To qualify for this code, the product must have undergone a cooking process that results in a gelled or thickened consistency. This distinguishes it from fruit preserved in syrup or simply dried. The presence of peel is a characteristic feature of marmalade, but the primary classification factor is the cooking process and the citrus origin. Whether the marmalade is made from bitter oranges, lemons, or limes, it remains within this subheading. This classification is used to monitor food safety standards and apply relevant agricultural duties. It excludes homogenized preparations which are classified under 200710.

Products Included

• Orange marmalade (sweet or bitter)
• Lemon marmalade
• Lime marmalade
• Grapefruit marmalade
• Mixed citrus fruit marmalades (cooked)

Common Misclassification

Citrus marmalade is often confused with products in heading 2008, which covers fruit otherwise prepared or preserved. However, 2008 is for fruits that have not been cooked into a jam or paste. Another misclassification occurs with 200710, which is strictly for homogenized preparations (baby food). If the product is a fruit syrup, it may fall under 2106.
