0710.80.97.22 - Spears 🖩

This classification covers spears of vegetables that have been frozen, either uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water. The term "spears" refers to pieces that are elongated and typically resemble the shape of a spearhead. This category is a subset of "Other vegetables" within frozen vegetables, indicating that the vegetable type does not fit into more specific classifications like broccoli or cauliflower.

Within the "Reduced in size" category, the distinction lies in the form of the vegetable. If the frozen vegetable is cut into pieces specifically shaped as spears, it falls here. This differentiates it from other forms of reduced-size frozen vegetables that might be diced, sliced, or cut into florets, which would be classified under the sibling "Other" category at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the specific vegetable being presented in a spear form and meeting the general criteria of being frozen and reduced in size. Examples might include frozen asparagus spears, frozen green bean spears, or frozen broccoli spears that are not otherwise specifically enumerated in higher-level headings. The key determinant is the physical form of the processed vegetable.
