0709.60.40.09 - Yellow

This HTS category, 0709.60.40.09, specifically classifies yellow sweet bell-type peppers that are certified organic. This designation applies to bell peppers (a variety of *Capsicum annuum*) which are grown under recognized organic farming practices, meaning they are produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms. The "Yellow" descriptor is a key identifier within this subcategory.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, the primary difference lies in the color attribute. While 0709.60.40.05 covers green sweet bell peppers, 0709.60.40.07 covers red, and 0709.60.40.11 covers orange varieties, this code is exclusively for the yellow variants. All these sibling categories, however, share the common traits of being sweet bell-type peppers, greenhouse-grown, and certified organic.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification criteria are solely based on the physical characteristic of color (yellow), the variety (sweet bell-type pepper), the growing method (greenhouse), and the certification (organic). Importers and exporters should ensure that documentation clearly indicates the yellow color and organic certification to accurately classify these goods.
