0711.90.65.00 - Other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables

This HTS classification, 0711.90.65.00, pertains to "Other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables" that have been provisionally preserved but are not yet suitable for direct consumption. This category encompasses a wide array of vegetables not specifically enumerated under preceding subheadings within 0711.90, as well as pre-prepared combinations of various vegetables. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the vegetables, while preserved, remain in a state requiring further processing (such as cooking) before they can be eaten.

Unlike sibling categories such as leguminous vegetables (0711.90.20.00), capers (0711.90.30.00), or onions (0711.90.50.00), this subheading is a residual category. It captures all other vegetable types that fit the provisional preservation criteria, as well as any mixtures where the individual components might otherwise fall into different subheadings but are presented together. For instance, a mix of carrots and peas preserved in brine, where neither is individually listed in a prior sibling category, would be classified here.

As a leaf node, 0711.90.65.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on accurately identifying vegetables that are not explicitly covered by more specific provisions in this chapter and confirming their provisional state of preservation. The methods of preservation typically include brining, sulfuring, or immersion in water with or without other substances, provided these methods render the vegetables unfit for immediate consumption without further preparation.
