0706.10.05.00 - Reduced in size

This classification pertains to carrots that have been reduced in size. "Reduced in size" generally refers to carrots that have undergone processes such as slicing, dicing, or being cut into smaller pieces, but have not been further processed into a product fit for direct consumption as a prepared or preserved food. The key characteristic is the reduction in their original physical form while still retaining their essential identity as carrots.

This specific category for reduced-size carrots is distinguished from the sibling category, "Other," which would encompass carrots that have not been reduced in size, or are otherwise not specifically classified under a more granular subheading. It also differentiates itself from other root vegetables within Chapter 7, ensuring that only carrots meeting the size reduction criterion are classified here.

As a leaf node, HTS code 0706.10.05.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading relies solely on the determination that the product is indeed a carrot and has been reduced in size, as opposed to remaining whole or being subject to further processing which would place it in a different HTS chapter or subheading.
