Broader than it sounds

HSN 2008 covers fruit, nuts and other edible plant parts that are "otherwise prepared or preserved" — this includes roasted/salted groundnuts and cashews, other roasted nuts and seeds, and fruit squashes (mango, lemon, orange, pineapple, etc.), whether or not they contain added sugar or spirit.

The key word is "prepared." Fresh or merely dried fruit/nuts don't belong here — they're classified under their own raw-produce headings (typically Chapter 8) with different, often exempt or lower, rates. This heading is specifically for processed/preserved versions.
