Chapter 07: Edible vegetables

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 070410 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled cauliflowers and broccoli. For instance, if you're shipping a crate of fresh cauliflower heads from Mexico to the U.S., this is the correct code.

This code specifically applies to fresh or chilled cauliflowers and broccoli, distinguishing them from other brassicas like kale or kohlrabi, which fall under different HS-6 codes. If you have fresh kale, you would use HS-6 070490 instead.

When classifying products, it's essential to note that the 0704 heading covers various edible brassicas. However, 070410 narrows it down to just cauliflowers and broccoli, ensuring accurate tariff application and compliance.

If you're unsure whether your shipment qualifies under this code, consider the product's condition—only fresh or chilled items fall under HS-6 070410. Frozen or canned versions would require different classifications.
