0709.60.20 - Chili peppers

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This category specifically classifies chili peppers, which are distinct from other varieties of peppers and allspice under HTS code 0709.60. The key characteristic defining goods within this subcategory is their identification as chili peppers, encompassing a wide range of piquant varieties often used for culinary heat and flavor.

This specific classification distinguishes chili peppers from their "sibling" category, 0709.60.40, which covers "Other" fruits of the genus *Capsicum* or *Pimenta*. While the parent category broadly includes all peppers, this subcategory isolates those specifically recognized as chilies, differentiating them by their characteristic heat level and common culinary application.

Within this classification, further subcategories exist to provide more granular detail. The 0709.60.20.10 designation is for greenhouse-grown chili peppers, highlighting their cultivation method. An "Other" subcategory exists for chili peppers not grown under greenhouse conditions, allowing for accurate classification based on origin and production environment.
