2004.90.85.85 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2004.90.85.85, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved garlic, specifically when frozen and not preserved by vinegar or acetic acid. This category serves as a residual for frozen garlic preparations that do not fit into more specific subheadings within heading 2004. It is important to note that this code applies to garlic that is not otherwise specified by specific physical characteristics or processing methods outlined in preceding subheadings.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the specific forms of garlic excluded. HTS code 2004.90.85.65 covers peeled garlic cloves, whether or not individually quick frozen. Similarly, 2004.90.85.75 applies to garlic that has been reduced in size beyond the clove stage, again, whether or not individually quick frozen. Therefore, 2004.90.85.85 is reserved for frozen garlic that does not fall into these more narrowly defined categories, such as, but not limited to, whole unpeeled garlic bulbs or garlic prepared in a manner not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, with the distinction from sibling categories being the primary means of accurate classification for any remaining forms of frozen, otherwise preserved garlic.
