It is distinct from other members of the *Brassica* genus that may fall under the broader Chapter 7 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Kale is characterized by its dark, curly, or flat leaves, which are consumed fresh or chilled.

Within the "Other" subheading (0704.90.40), this classification is differentiated from other related brassicas such as Bok choy, Collards, and Napa cabbage by its specific botanical and physical characteristics. While all are edible brassicas, Kale's unique leaf structure and common culinary uses set it apart for accurate tariff classification.

Importers and exporters should ensure the goods precisely match the definition of Kale to avoid misclassification and ensure compliance with customs regulations.
