About chapter 20
Chapter 20 covers prepared or preserved vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants: jams, fruit juices, canned vegetables, pickles and similar processed produce. Sugar content, preservation method and fruit type each affect which six-digit code applies.
Classification tip: Fruit juice classification depends heavily on Brix value (sugar concentration) and whether the juice is single-strength or concentrate, both of which change the subheading and often the duty rate.

Chapter 20 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 20 cover?
Chapter 20 of the Harmonized System covers: preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants. It belongs to section IV (Foodstuffs, Beverages & Tobacco) and contains 9 four-digit headings, 2001–2009.
How many HS codes are in chapter 20?
Chapter 20 contains 9 four-digit headings and 52 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 2001 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 20?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
