0704.90.20.00 - Cabbage

This HTS classification, 0704.90.20.00, specifically covers cabbage, which is defined as the edible heads of *Brassica oleracea* varieties, typically characterized by their tightly packed leaves. This category falls under the broader heading for "Cabbages, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale and similar edible brassicas, fresh or chilled." The inclusion of "cabbage" as a distinct sub-item signifies a focus on this specific member of the brassica family, as opposed to other closely related vegetables.

Distinguishing this node from its sibling, 0704.90.40 ("Other"), is crucial. While the sibling category encompasses a broader range of miscellaneous edible brassicas not specifically enumerated elsewhere within this sub-heading, 0704.90.20.00 is dedicated solely to cabbage. This means that if a product is definitively identifiable as cabbage, it should be classified here rather than in the more general "Other" category.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the accurate identification of cabbage based on its botanical characteristics. For classification purposes, products falling under this code should be fresh or chilled cabbage, excluding any processed forms such as sauerkraut or kimchi, which would be classified elsewhere.
