Overview

This HTS category, HTS 0704.90.40.15, specifically covers Bok Choy, a type of Chinese cabbage known for its stalky stems and dark green leaves. It falls under the broader classification of "Cabbages, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale and similar edible brassicas, fresh or chilled," and is further refined within the "Other" subheading for brassicas not specifically enumerated, excluding sprouting broccoli.

Distinguishing Bok Choy from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While all are brassicas, Bok Choy is distinct from broccoli, collards, kale, and Napa cabbage due to its unique physical characteristics and culinary use. Unlike broccoli, it lacks a prominent flower head. It differs from collards and kale in its structure, featuring broad, thick white or light green stalks and spoon-shaped leaves, rather than the more open, ruffled leaves of kale and collards. Napa cabbage, while a Chinese cabbage, has a more elongated, tightly packed head and different leaf texture and flavor profile compared to Bok Choy.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories under Bok Choy. Classification at this level is based on the specific identification of the commodity as Bok Choy, fresh or chilled, fitting the general description of edible brassicas. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product's physical attributes and common name align with the established understanding of Bok Choy to avoid misclassification.
