0709.20.90.70 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0709.20.90.70, encompasses all other fresh or chilled asparagus that does not meet the specific criteria for certified organic products. It serves as a residual category for asparagus that has undergone minimal processing and is intended for consumption, excluding any asparagus specifically identified as having organic certification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, HTS Code 0709.20.90.40, is the absence of organic certification. While both categories fall under the broader heading of "Asparagus," this particular subcategory covers conventional asparagus. Classification relies on documentation and labeling verifying organic status for the sibling category; the absence of such verification places asparagus here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification criteria are primarily based on the physical state (fresh or chilled) and the lack of organic certification. Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include standard, conventionally grown asparagus, whether whole spears, trimmed, or pre-packaged, as long as they are not explicitly certified organic.
