0709.40.60.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 0709.40.60.40, pertains to "Other" celery, fresh or chilled, that does not fall under any more specific subheadings within the broader category of "Celery other than celeriac." It represents a residual classification for celery varieties or preparations that do not fit the criteria for certified organic celery.

The distinction from the sibling category, 0709.40.60.20 (Certified organic), is based solely on the presence or absence of official organic certification. Goods classified under 0709.40.60.40 are standard celery items, irrespective of their cultivation methods, as long as they are fresh or chilled and meet the general definition of celery.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code requires a thorough review of the general definition of celery and its physical characteristics, ensuring it is not specifically covered by other provisions within Chapter 7 and, importantly, that it does not qualify for the certified organic designation. This category serves as the final destination for eligible, non-organic, fresh or chilled celery.
