0712.90.85.40 - Spinach

This HTS classification covers dried spinach, whether whole, cut, sliced, broken, or in powder form, provided it has not undergone further preparation beyond drying. This product is categorized under "Other vegetables; mixtures of vegetables" within the broader grouping of dried vegetables.

It is important to distinguish this HTS code from its siblings. While other codes in the 0712.90.85 series cover specific dried vegetables like broccoli, celery stalks, or leeks, this code is exclusively for dried spinach. Furthermore, it differs from 0712.90.85.50, which is reserved for sweet corn seeds intended for sowing, and 0712.90.85.80, a residual category for other dried vegetables not otherwise specified.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the accurate identification of the dried vegetable as spinach and its exclusion from more specific descriptions or further processing beyond drying. Classification will depend on the physical state of the dried spinach and its sole enumeration under this specific HTS code.
