0704 - Cabbages, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale and similar edible brassicas, fresh or chilled:

This HTS category, 0704, encompasses a variety of edible brassicas that are fresh or chilled. It specifically includes cabbages (including pointed, red, and Savoy varieties), cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, and other similar plants belonging to the *Brassica oleracea* species and its close relatives, provided they are intended for consumption. The fresh or chilled state is a key criterion for inclusion here.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings in Chapter 7 is crucial. While other Chapter 7 headings cover different families or types of fresh or chilled vegetables (e.g., onions and garlic under 0703, carrots and turnips under 0706), 0704 is exclusively focused on the diverse group of edible brassicas. It does not include dried or preserved brassicas, which would fall under different HTS chapters.

Within 0704, further subdivisions exist to account for specific types of brassicas. Subheadings differentiate between cauliflowers and broccoli, recognizing their distinct botanical classifications and common trade recognition. Brussels sprouts are also specifically identified. The "Other" subheading serves as a catch-all for remaining brassicas within the scope of this heading that are not otherwise enumerated, such as sprouting broccoli. These subcategories allow for precise tariff application based on the exact commodity.
