0706.90 - Other:

This category, HTS Code 0706.90, encompasses edible roots that are not specifically enumerated under the preceding subheadings within Chapter 7. It serves as a residual category for such roots, covering a variety of less common yet commercially traded items that fall within the broad definition of edible roots. The primary classification criterion here is the botanical and culinary classification of the root as edible and suitable for human consumption.

Unlike the sibling category 0706.10, which specifically covers carrots and turnips, this category is for all other edible roots that do not fit into the more defined classifications. For instance, while carrots and turnips are clearly distinct, this subheading captures the remaining diversity of edible root vegetables not otherwise specified.

The subcategories within 0706.90 provide further granularity for common, distinct edible roots that warrant separate statistical tracking. 0706.90.20.00 is dedicated to radishes, a widely recognized root vegetable. 0706.90.30.00 addresses beets and horseradish, grouping these distinct yet related root vegetables. Finally, 0706.90.40 acts as a further residual category for any other edible roots not specifically listed in the preceding sub-subheadings.
