This HTS category, 0704.10, specifically covers cauliflowers and broccoli, which belong to the species *Brassica oleracea var. botrytis*. These vegetables are characterized by their compact flower heads, which are harvested before blooming. This classification applies to these vegetables when they are presented fresh or chilled.

Within Chapter 7, and specifically under the heading for cabbages, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, and similar edible brassicas, this sub-heading distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific focus on cauliflower and broccoli as defined. While 0704.20.00.00 covers Brussels sprouts, and 0704.90 encompasses "Other" brassicas including sprouting broccoli, this 0704.10 code is exclusively for the common cauliflower and its broccoli counterpart (*Brassica oleracea var. botrytis*).

The subcategories within 0704.10 further refine classification based on the timing of entry for "cauliflowers and broccoli." The subdivision 0704.10.20.00 applies if the product is entered during the period from June 5 to October 15, inclusive, in any year. All other entries not falling within this specific seasonal window are classified under the "Other" subcategory, allowing for a granular approach to tariff application based on seasonal availability or specific import regulations.
