HS code for Fruit jam: 2007.99

Classification of fruit jam under HS 2007.99

Fruit jams are classified under HS code 2007.99, which falls within Chapter 20 of the Harmonized System, covering 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 classification under 2007.99 is applied to products that are not homogenized (which would fall under 2007.10) and are not made from citrus fruits (which fall under 2007.91). To qualify for this code, the product must have undergone a cooking process that results in a gelled or thickened consistency through the evaporation of water and the activation of pectin. This distinguishes jams from fruit that is simply preserved in syrup or water without the application of heat sufficient to break down the fruit structure into a paste or jelly. The "n.e.c." (not elsewhere classified) designation in 2007.99 ensures that all non-citrus fruit-based cooked preparations are captured here, provided they do not meet the specific criteria for homogenized infant food preparations. This classification is vital for applying the correct tariffs on processed fruit exports and imports.

Codes often confused with 2007.99

Common mistake. This code is often confused with HS code 2008, which covers fruits otherwise prepared or preserved, such as fruit in syrup where the fruit remains whole or in pieces without being cooked into a paste. Another common error involves 2007.10, which is reserved for homogenized preparations typically used as infant food. Additionally, fruit-flavored syrups or sauces without the required fruit pulp content may fall under 2106.90, and citrus marmalades must be classified under 2007.91.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
