(A) Dried fruit. This heading covers dried fruit which, when fresh, falls in headings 0807 – 0810. It is prepared either simply by natural drying or by industrial processes (e.g., in tunnel dryers). The fruits usually treated in this way are apricots, prunes, apples, peaches and pears. Dried apples and pears are used for the manufacture of cider or perry or for culinary purposes. With the exception of prunes, the fruit is usually cut in half or into slices, and the cores, pips or stones are removed. The fruit may also be presented (particularly apricots and prunes) in the form of slices or blocks of pulp, dried or evaporated. This heading covers tamarind pods. It also covers tamarind pulp, not containing added sugar or other substances and not otherwise processed, whether or not with seeds, fibres or fragments of endocarp. (B) Mixtures of nuts or dried fruits. This heading also covers all mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of this Chapter (including mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of the same heading). It therefore includes mixtures of fresh or dried nuts, mixtures of dried fruits (other than nuts) and mixtures of fresh or dried nuts with dried fruits. These mixtures are often put up in boxes, cellophane bags, etc. Certain dried fruits or mixtures thereof of this heading may be put up (e.g., in sachets) for making herbal infusions or herbal "teas". These products are also classified here. However, the heading excludes such products consisting of a mixture of one or more kinds of dried fruit of this heading with plants or parts of plants of other Chapters or with other substances such as one or more plant extracts (generally heading 2106).
