Fruit and nuts, provisionally preserved, e.g. by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

0812 Fruits and nuts preserved for short-term storage (e.g., sulfur dioxide, brine, sulfur water or other temporarily preservative solution) but not suitable for direct consumption: 0812 10 Cherries 0812 90 Other
This heading applies to fruit and nuts (whether or not blanched, whether or not scalded) which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (e.g., by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other provisional preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption. Such products are used mainly in the food industry (manufacture of jams, preparation of candied fruit, etc.). The fruits most commonly presented in this state are sour cherries and sweet cherries, strawberries (wild and garden), oranges, citrons, apricots and greengages. They are usually put up in casks, trays or crates.
