Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200490 when importing or exporting frozen vegetable preparations that are not preserved with vinegar or acetic acid. This includes products like frozen mixed vegetables or frozen carrots and peas, which are ready for cooking or further processing.
This code specifically covers vegetable preparations that are frozen and not preserved with vinegar or acetic acid, distinguishing it from HS-6 200410, which includes similar products but focuses on those preserved with vinegar. If your product is simply frozen without any acidic preservation, 200490 is the correct classification.
