0709.60.20.50 - Poblano

This classification covers poblano peppers, a specific variety of chili pepper characterized by its mild to moderate heat and thick, dark green flesh that ripens to a deep red. Unlike other peppers within this chapter, poblanos are distinct in their culinary use, often employed for stuffing, roasting, and in traditional Mexican dishes like chile rellenos.

While sharing the broad classification of "Chili peppers" with related categories such as Jalapeno, Mini sweet peppers, Anaheim, and Serrano, poblano peppers are differentiated by their unique size, shape, and flavor profile. Their larger, often heart-shaped appearance and less pungent heat distinguish them from the smaller, hotter Jalapeno and Serrano varieties, and they possess a more robust flavor than sweet peppers or the milder Anaheim.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0709.60.20.50 is definitive for fresh or chilled poblano peppers, based on their botanical identification and absence of any further subdivisions.
