0712.90.60.00 - Crude or not manufactured

This HTS category, 0712.90.60.00, specifically covers dried fennel, marjoram, parsley, savory, and tarragon, which have undergone minimal processing such as being whole, cut, sliced, broken, or reduced to powder. The key criterion for inclusion here is that these herbs remain in their crude form and have not been further prepared, such as by incorporation into sauces, seasonings, or other culinary mixtures.

It is important to distinguish this category from others at the same level. While other dried vegetables and mixtures of vegetables are covered under broader headings, this subheading narrows the focus to these specific aromatic herbs. The "Other" sibling category at this level would likely encompass dried vegetables or vegetable mixtures not otherwise specified, making this subheading for fennel, marjoram, parsley, savory, and tarragon a more precise designation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0712.90.60.00. Therefore, classification under this code relies solely on identifying the dried product as one of the enumerated herbs (fennel, marjoram, parsley, savory, or tarragon) and confirming that it has not been subjected to any processing beyond drying, cutting, slicing, breaking, or powdering. Examples of correctly classified goods include dried parsley leaves for seasoning, powdered marjoram, or dried fennel seeds intended for culinary use.
