0704.90.40 - Other

This HTS category, 0704.90.40, encompasses "Other" edible brassicas, fresh or chilled, that do not fall under the more specific classifications within heading 0704. This exclusion is crucial, as it differentiates these items from their more narrowly defined counterparts at the same level. For instance, while this category may include a variety of brassicas, the specific entry for "Cabbage" (0704.90.20.00) will exclusively cover items generally recognized as cabbage in its various forms, excluding other brassica varieties.

The scope of 0704.90.40 is therefore broad, serving as a residual category for edible brassicas. This includes, but is not limited to, varieties of brassicas that are not explicitly listed elsewhere within the 0704 heading. The key defining characteristic is that they are fresh or chilled and belong to the Brassica genus, while also not fitting into a more specific sub-classification.

Within this broad category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. These subcategories include specific items such as Bok choy, Collards, Kale, and Napa cabbage, each recognized by their distinct physical characteristics and culinary uses. Additionally, a further "Other" subcategory exists to capture any remaining brassicas not specifically named, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the heading. The existence of these subcategories highlights the need for precise identification of the specific brassica variety when classifying goods under 0704.90.40.
