Overview

This HTS subcategory, 0709.99.90.10, specifically covers fresh or chilled cilantro. Cilantro, a widely used culinary herb, is distinguished by its distinctive aroma and flavor, derived from its leaves and stems. Within the broader category of "Other vegetables, fresh or chilled," this classification isolates cilantro for specific import and export tracking, acknowledging its unique market and usage compared to other vegetables.

Unlike its sibling categories, such as bitter melon (0709.99.90.05) or cactus leaves (0709.99.90.30), cilantro is solely defined by its botanical identity and culinary application as an aromatic herb. The sibling category of "Other" (0709.99.90.85) serves as a residual category for any other fresh or chilled vegetables not specifically enumerated elsewhere at this level.

As a leaf node, 0709.99.90.10 does not have further subdivisions. Classification at this level is definitive based on the identification of the commodity as fresh or chilled cilantro. Importers and exporters should ensure that the commodity presented for customs clearance precisely matches the physical and botanical characteristics of cilantro to ensure correct tariff application.
