HS-4 · Heading
0711 — Vegetables provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption
Chapter 07: Edible vegetables
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0711 when importing or exporting vegetables that are provisionally preserved but not ready for immediate consumption. For instance, if you're shipping olives that have been brined but require further processing, this heading applies.
To choose among the subheadings, consider the specific type of vegetable. For example, if your shipment includes cucumbers that have been pickled but are not yet suitable for eating, you would classify them under 071140. In contrast, if you have mushrooms, the classification will depend on whether they are of the genus Agaricus or not.
If your product falls under mixed vegetables or does not fit neatly into the other categories, you would use 071190. This is often the case for shipments that include a variety of vegetables that are provisionally preserved but not suitable for immediate consumption.
