Chapter 08 covers edible fruit and nuts, peel of citrus fruit or melons. This chapter includes fresh, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved fruit and nuts, as well as peel used for extracting essential oils or as raw materials for the food industry. However, it does not include: manufactured jam, fruit jelly (Chapter 20), roasted nuts (Chapter 20), or roasted plants used as coffee substitutes (Chapter 09 or Chapter 21). Heading 0814 specifically covers peel of citrus fruit (such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit) or melons (including watermelons), whether fresh, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved in brine, sulphur dioxide water, etc. However, it does not include: peel further processed into candied fruit (Chapter 20), or peel after extraction of essential oils (Chapter 33). First 2 digits 08: indicates Chapter 08, edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons. Digits 3-4: 14 indicates heading 0814, specifically peel of citrus fruit or melons. Digits 5-6: 00, since there is no further subdivision under this heading, it is uniformly 00, indicating other. Therefore, 081400 refers to all peel of citrus fruit or melons, whether or not provisionally preserved, as long as it does not exceed the processing scope permitted by this Chapter. The goods are peel of citrus fruit or melons, which have not undergone the deep processing permitted by Chapter 20 (such as making candied fruit), nor have essential oils been extracted (Chapter 33), therefore they should be classified under Chapter 08. Heading 0814 explicitly lists such peel, so it is classified under 081400. It cannot be classified under 0810 (other fresh fruit) or 0812 (provisionally preserved fruit), because 0814 is a heading specifically for peel.

Product Name: Fill in the specific peel name, such as orange peel, lemon peel, grapefruit peel, watermelon peel, etc., which must be consistent with the actual goods. State: Indicate fresh, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved in brine, sulphur dioxide water, etc., and whether suitable for consumption. Processing Method: Explain whether it has been sliced, crushed, juiced, etc., but must not exceed the scope permitted by Chapter 08. Use: Fill in the use, such as food raw material, essential oil extraction, feed, etc., which helps determine classification. Brand: If there is a brand, fill in the brand name; if no brand, fill in 'None'. Specification: Fill in the packaging specification, such as bagged, boxed, and the weight or quantity per package. Composition: If it is mixed peel, indicate each component and its proportion. Product Name: Orange peel; State: Dried; Processing Method: Not further processed; Use: Food raw material; Brand: None; Specification: 20 kg/bag; Composition: 100% orange peel. Declaring peel after essential oil extraction as 0814, when it should actually be classified under Chapter 33. Declaring candied peel as 0814, when it should actually be classified under Chapter 20. Not indicating the state, leading to confusion with 0812 provisionally preserved fruit.

Core criteria for classification: 1. Whether the goods are peel of citrus fruit or melons; 2. Whether they have undergone processing permitted by Chapter 08 (fresh, frozen, dried, provisionally preserved); 3. Whether they exceed the scope of Chapter 08 (such as making candied fruit, extracting essential oils). If the first two points are met, classify under 081400. 0812 Fruit and nuts, provisionally preserved: 0812 covers provisionally preserved whole fruit or nuts, while 0814 only covers peel, even if the peel is also provisionally preserved. 2006 Vegetables, fruit, nuts and other parts of plants, preserved by sugar: 2006 includes peel preserved by sugar (candied fruit), while 0814 only includes peel not preserved by sugar. 3301 Essential oils: 3301 covers peel after essential oil extraction, while 0814 covers peel from which essential oils have not been extracted. 0810 Other fresh fruit: 0810 covers whole fresh fruit, while 0814 only covers peel. Is it only peel, rather than whole fruit? Has it been preserved by sugar or candied? Have essential oils been extracted? Has it been frozen or provisionally preserved? Is it used for food or industrial raw materials?

Which HS code should dried orange peel be classified under? Dried orange peel, if not preserved by sugar or subjected to essential oil extraction, should be classified under 081400. If preserved by sugar, then under 2006; if essential oils have been extracted, then under 3301. Can watermelon peel be classified under 081400? Yes, watermelon belongs to melons, and its peel, if not deeply processed, can be classified under 081400. However, if made into candied fruit, then under 2006. How should provisionally preserved lemon peel be classified? Provisionally preserved lemon peel (such as in brine, sulphur dioxide water) is still classified under 081400, because Chapter 08 permits provisional preservation. Which code should orange peel after essential oil extraction be classified under? Orange peel after essential oil extraction should be classified under 3301, because it has exceeded the scope of Chapter 08 and is a residue after essential oil extraction. Is peel powder classified under 081400? If the peel has only been crushed and does not exceed the processing scope of Chapter 08, it can still be classified under 081400. However, if after crushing it is used for essential oil extraction, it may be classified under 3301. How to distinguish between 081400 and 0812? 0812 covers provisionally preserved whole fruit or nuts, while 081400 only covers peel, even if the peel is also provisionally preserved. The key is whether the goods are whole fruit or peel. What elements need attention when declaring 081400? Need to indicate product name, state, processing method, use, brand, specification, composition, etc. In particular, explain whether it has been preserved by sugar or subjected to essential oil extraction, to avoid classification errors. How to inquire about the tax rate for 081400? Tax rates may change. It is recommended to check the latest tax rates through the official website of the General Administration of Customs or the International Trade Single Window. Different tax rates usually apply depending on origin, trade agreements, etc.
