0710.80.85.00 - Brussels sprouts

This HTS classification covers frozen Brussels sprouts that have been reduced in size. This reduction in size can include slicing, dicing, or other methods of preparing the Brussels sprouts into smaller, more manageable pieces. The key characteristic is that the Brussels sprouts remain uncooked or have been cooked only by steaming or boiling in water before being frozen. This category is specifically for Brussels sprouts and excludes other types of vegetables that might also be frozen and reduced in size.

When classifying frozen vegetables, it is important to distinguish between specific vegetable types and more general "other" categories. This 0710.80.85.00 code is distinct from sibling categories like 0710.80.93.00 for frozen okra or the broader 0710.80.97 for other miscellaneous frozen vegetables. The specificity of "Brussels sprouts" ensures that these particular cruciferous vegetables are not misclassified under a more general heading, which could lead to incorrect duty rates or trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories beneath 0710.80.85.00. This means that any frozen Brussels sprouts that have been reduced in size and meet the preceding criteria will be classified directly under this code, regardless of any minor variations in processing that do not alter their fundamental identity as reduced-size, frozen Brussels sprouts.
