0709.60.40.05 - Green

This classification covers sweet bell-type peppers (Capsicum annum) that have been certified organic and are presented in their green state. The "green" descriptor refers to the characteristic color of the pepper at this stage of ripeness. These peppers are intended for consumption and are typically used in culinary applications, ranging from fresh salads to cooked dishes.

This specific category is distinguished from its siblings by the physical attribute of color. While all fall under the umbrella of certified organic sweet bell-type peppers, this entry exclusively pertains to those that are green. Sibling categories, such as 0709.60.40.07 (Red), 0709.60.40.09 (Yellow), and 0709.60.40.11 (Orange), represent the same type of pepper at different stages of ripeness, identified by their distinct colors. The "Other" sibling category accounts for any certified organic sweet bell-type peppers not specifically described by the preceding color designations.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification is specific enough to encompass all green, certified organic sweet bell-type peppers. Therefore, the primary focus for classification at this level is the confirmation of the pepper's botanical identity (sweet bell-type pepper of the genus Capsicum annum), its certified organic status, and its green color.
