0904.21.60 - Other

This HTS category, 0904.21.60, encompasses "Other" dried, neither crushed nor ground fruits of the genus *Capsicum*, excluding specific types of peppers already classified. It serves as a residual category for dried *Capsicum* fruits that do not fall under the more precisely defined paprika, Anaheim, or ancho peppers. The intent is to capture a broad range of whole, dried *Capsicum* fruits that are not further processed.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While 0904.21.20.00 specifically covers paprika, known for its vibrant color and often milder flavor profile, and 0904.21.40.00 identifies Anaheim and ancho peppers, this subcategory, 0904.21.60, is for other varieties of dried *Capsicum* fruits that do not fit these specific descriptions. This includes a wide array of chili peppers in their whole, dried form.

Given the broad nature of "Other," this category is further subdivided to provide greater specificity for classification purposes. Subcategories exist to distinguish between commonly recognized types of dried *Capsicum* fruits, such as bell peppers (0904.21.60.10) and jalapeno peppers (0904.21.60.20), based on their distinct varietal characteristics and common usage. The final subcategory, 0904.21.60.90, continues to act as a residual for any remaining types of dried *Capsicum* fruits that do not fit these more specific subheadings, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the broader classification of dried peppers.
