Overview
HTS Code 0710 encompasses a broad range of vegetables that have been preserved through freezing. This category specifically includes vegetables that are either raw (uncooked) or have undergone a preliminary cooking process such as steaming or boiling in water, before being frozen. The key distinguishing factor for inclusion in this heading is the method of preservation; the vegetables must be frozen.
This classification is distinct from other Chapter 07 headings which deal with fresh or chilled vegetables (e.g., 0701-0709) or dried, dehydrated, or otherwise preserved vegetables (e.g., heading 0712). The "frozen" attribute is paramount. Furthermore, while 0710 focuses on individual types of vegetables, other headings might cover processed vegetable preparations or juices.
Within HTS 0710, further subdivisions are provided to distinguish between specific types of frozen vegetables. These include categories for potatoes (0710.10.00.00), leguminous vegetables like peas and beans (shelled or unshelled), spinach varieties (0710.30.00.00), sweet corn (0710.40.00.00), other individual vegetable types (0710.80), and mixtures of vegetables (0710.90). These subcategories allow for more precise classification based on the specific vegetable or combination of vegetables presented in frozen form.
