HTS heading 2007 is a broad product category for fruit or nut preparations made by cooking. It groups together jams, fruit jellies, marmalades, fruit or nut purées, and fruit or nut pastes, whether or not they contain added sugar or another sweetener. The heading describes the product’s basic form and manufacturing process, not a single finished-goods code.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS subheading, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 2007. Then use the more detailed tariff provisions, which commonly separate products by the type of fruit or nut and sometimes by the preparation’s form or other stated characteristics. Review the product’s recipe, processing method, labeling, and packaging against the current HTSUS wording and any applicable chapter or section notes. The final classification may require customs-broker or specialist judgment.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is cooked and is a jam, jelly, marmalade, purée, or paste rather than a raw, dried, frozen, beverage, or otherwise prepared product.
- Identify the principal fruit or nut and check whether the tariff text provides a specific provision for that material or instead uses an “other” category.
- Review the full ingredient list, including mixtures, added sugar or sweeteners, and any ingredients that could affect classification under tariff notes.
- Compare the product’s physical form and commercial description—such as spreadable jam, smooth purée, or nut paste—with the wording of the candidate subheadings.
- Verify the complete 8-digit HTSUS code in the current official tariff and retain product specifications supporting the classification; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the wording is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
