Chapter 07: Edible vegetables
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 071080 when importing or exporting frozen vegetables that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, not elsewhere classified. For example, if you're shipping frozen mixed vegetables that include carrots, peas, and corn, this code applies.
This code specifically covers frozen vegetables that don't fit into more specific categories like frozen potatoes or frozen peas. If you're dealing with frozen artichokes or asparagus, you would look at HS-6 071090 instead, which is for other frozen vegetables.
The 0710 heading narrows down the broader category of vegetables in chapter 07, focusing on those that are either uncooked or cooked and then frozen. This includes a variety of vegetable mixes and preparations that are preserved through freezing.
When classifying your products, consider the packaging and preparation methods. For instance, if your shipment includes frozen vegetable blends that are pre-cooked or seasoned, ensure they are not classified under a different heading.
