HS code for Marmalade: 2007.99

Classification of marmalade under HS 2007.99

Marmalade is classified under HS code 2007.99 because it is a cooked preparation of fruit. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and the Chapter 20 notes, heading 2007 encompasses jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, and fruit purées obtained by cooking, whether or not containing added sugar. Subheading 2007.99 is used for these preparations when they are not homogenized and do not fall under specific sub-categories like citrus fruit jams (which are often 2007.91). For international trade, 2007.99 serves as the catch-all for high-quality fruit pastes and cooked spreads that maintain a specific consistency and sugar content. The classification depends on the cooking process which breaks down the fruit structure into a gel or paste, distinguishing it from fruits preserved in syrup. The presence of fruit peel or pulp within a gelatinous medium is the defining physical characteristic for this classification.

Codes often confused with 2007.99

Common mistake. Marmalades are frequently confused with HS code 2008.99, which covers fruits otherwise prepared or preserved. The distinction lies in the cooking process; 2008 covers fruits preserved in syrup or alcohol without being boiled down into a jam-like consistency. Additionally, 2106.90 is sometimes incorrectly used for fruit-flavored spreads that contain no actual fruit solids.

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).
