0709.60.20.30 - Mini sweet peppers

This HTS classification, 0709.60.20.30, specifically covers "Mini sweet peppers." These are small, mild varieties of peppers from the genus Capsicum, characterized by their sweetness and lack of significant heat. Unlike hotter pepper varieties, their primary use is often for culinary applications where a sweet, non-spicy pepper flavor and texture are desired.

Within the broader category of "Chili peppers" (which broadly includes all peppers of the genus Capsicum), this code distinguishes itself from its siblings by focusing on the absence of capsaicinoids, the compounds responsible for heat. While Jalapeno, Anaheim, Poblano, and Serrano peppers all contain varying degrees of spiciness, mini sweet peppers are specifically chosen for their mild and inherently sweet profiles. The "Other" sibling category would encompass any chili pepper not specifically enumerated.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0709.60.20.30. The classification is considered definitive for mini sweet peppers at this level of detail. Therefore, classification into this code relies on the visual and gustatory characteristics confirming the product as a mini, sweet variety of Capsicum, distinct from its spicier counterparts.
