Goods of this chapter are an important category of agricultural products in international trade. Heading 0813 covers dried fruits, other than those of headings 0801 to 0806; and mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of note 1 to this chapter. Specifically, it includes: dried apricots, dried plums, dried apples, dried peaches, dried pears and other dried fruits, as well as mixtures of nuts or dried fruits under this heading. However, note that individually named dried fruits such as dates (0804), figs (0804), raisins (0806), etc. are not classified under this heading. Code 081350 is a six-digit subheading. The first 2 digits '08' represent Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons. Digits 3-4 '13' represent heading 0813: Dried fruits (other than those of headings 0801 to 0806) and mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of note 1 to this chapter. Digits 5-6 '50' represent subheading 081350: Mixtures of nuts or dried fruits.

The goods are mixtures of nuts or dried fruits, i.e., a mixture of multiple kinds of nuts or dried fruits, and each ingredient falls within the scope of Chapter 08. Therefore, they are classified under 0813, rather than under individually named dried fruit headings (such as 0804, 0806). If the mixture contains ingredients not belonging to Chapter 08 (such as roasted nuts), it may be classified under Chapter 20.
