0709.40.60 - Other

This HTS category, 0709.40.60, encompasses "Other" vegetables, fresh or chilled, specifically under the broader classification of "Celery other than celeriac." Following the specificity of its parent categories, this designation applies to celery that does not fall into any more narrowly defined subcategories at this level. It serves as a residual category for celery products not explicitly detailed elsewhere within the 0709.40 classification.

Crucially, this category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 0709.40.40, which is defined by specific import dates. While 0709.40.40 applies only to celery imported and entered during the period from April 15 to July 31, inclusive, this category, 0709.40.60, covers all other celery not meeting those temporal import requirements. This means celery imported outside of that specified window, or if the date-specific criteria are not met for any reason, would be classified here, provided it's fresh or chilled and is celery other than celeriac.

Further subdivision within this category is provided by its subcategories, which allow for more granular classification. 0709.40.60.20 pertains to certified organic celery, offering a specific designation for environmentally certified produce. Conversely, 0709.40.60.40 acts as a further residual for any celery that does not meet the organic certification criteria. These subcategories allow for precise tracking and potential tariff differentiation based on cultivation and certification standards.
