Chapter 07: Edible vegetables

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0710 when importing frozen vegetables, such as frozen peas or potatoes cooked by steaming. This code applies to products that are either uncooked or cooked in water before freezing, making it crucial for importers dealing with these items.

When choosing among the HS-6 lines, consider the specific type of vegetable. For instance, HS-071010 is for frozen potatoes, while HS-071021 is dedicated to frozen peas. If your shipment includes beans, you would look at HS-071022. Each line is specific to the vegetable type, so accurate classification is essential.

If your shipment includes a mixture of vegetables, you might need HS-071090 for vegetable mixtures. For other leguminous vegetables not covered by peas or beans, HS-071029 is the right choice. Understanding these distinctions will help ensure compliance and avoid delays.
