Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200599 when importing or exporting vegetable preparations that are not preserved by vinegar or acetic acid and are not frozen. For example, a shipment of canned mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn fits this classification.
This code is specifically for vegetable preparations that don't fall under more specific categories, such as those covered by HS-6 200580, which includes certain preserved vegetables in oil. If your product is simply a mixture of vegetables prepared without vinegar or freezing, 200599 is the right choice.
HS-6 200599 captures a variety of vegetable preparations that are ready to eat or use in cooking. These can include products like vegetable soups, purees, or pre-cooked vegetable mixes that are packaged in jars or cans.
When classifying your product, consider if it contains any added preservatives or if it’s packaged in a way that might suggest a different classification. For instance, products preserved in vinegar would not qualify under this code.
