Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 070490 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled edible brassica vegetables not specified elsewhere in heading 0704, such as kohlrabi or kale. For example, a shipment of fresh kohlrabi packed in crates would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers vegetables like kohlrabi, collard greens, and other brassicas that are not classified under more specific HS-6 lines like 070491 for cabbages or 070492 for cauliflowers. If you're dealing with fresh kale, it also fits here.
When considering whether to use 070490, think about the packaging and condition of your product. If you have fresh or chilled brassica vegetables that don't match the specific types in the other HS-6 lines, this is the right choice.
Be aware that while 070490 includes a variety of edible brassicas, it excludes those that are more specifically categorized. Always check the exact nature of your shipment to ensure correct classification.
