Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 121299 when importing or exporting vegetable products that are fit for human consumption but don’t fit neatly into other specific categories. This includes items like dried locust beans and certain seeds that may be used in food products.
This code applies to products that are fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried, whether or not ground. For example, if you have dried locust beans intended for human consumption, this is the correct classification.
In contrast, HS-6 121200 covers locust beans specifically, while HS-6 121291 pertains to seaweeds and algae. If your product is a dried vegetable not specifically listed under these codes, HS-6 121299 is likely your best option.
