0703.10.40.66 - Yellow varieties, marked sweet

This HTS classification, 0703.10.40.66, specifically designates yellow onions that are characterized as "sweet." This designation is crucial for accurate customs declarations and duty assessment, differentiating them from other varieties of yellow onions based on their flavor profile. These are fresh or chilled onions falling under the broader category of onions and shallots, and within the specific subcategory for "other" onions.

The key distinguishing factor for this code is the "marked sweet" attribute. It differentiates these yellow onions from their counterparts classified under 0703.10.40.64, which are also yellow but not specifically marked as sweet. Other sibling categories, such as red (0703.10.40.55) and white varieties (0703.10.40.60), are distinguished by their color. The "Other" (0703.10.40.68) sibling category serves as a residual for any yellow sweet onions that do not fit specific further subdivisions if they were to exist.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is specific to the physical characteristic of being a yellow onion with a sweet flavor profile, fresh or chilled. This level of detail ensures precise identification for trade purposes, allowing customs authorities to correctly apply import regulations and tariff rates based on the precise nature of the commodity.
