2005.99.50.40 - Other

This HTS code, 2005.99.50.40, specifically classifies pimientos (the fruits of *Capsicum annuum*) that have been prepared or preserved other than by vinegar or acetic acid and are not frozen. This category applies to pimientos that do not fall under more specific subheadings based on their packaging or form.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its specificity regarding the type of pepper and its preservation method. It differentiates from sibling categories by its exclusion of pimientos packaged in containers holding not more than 227 grams (HTS 2005.99.50.20), which are classified separately due to their small retail packaging. Therefore, this code is for pimientos preserved in larger formats or bulk.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories. Classification within this HTS code is determined by the successful exclusion of other potential classifications for prepared or preserved peppers, focusing on pimientos specifically, and ensuring they are not frozen or preserved with vinegar/acetic acid, and not meeting the criteria of the 227g container sibling.
