2005.99.55 - Other

This HTS category, 2005.99.55, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved vegetables not elsewhere specified, beyond those preserved in vinegar or acetic acid and not frozen. The preceding levels of classification indicate that these are not products of heading 2006 (which typically involves vegetables preserved by sugar). Furthermore, this category specifically deals with vegetables that are not mixtures, and are not fruits of the genus *Capsicum* (peppers) or *Pimenta* (allspice).

Within the broader classification of "Other vegetables and mixtures of vegetables" under 2005.99, this subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 2005.99.50, which is exclusively for Pimientos (*Capsicum annuum*). Therefore, 2005.99.55 applies to a wider range of prepared or preserved vegetables that do not fit into the more specific categories.

This HTS code is further subdivided to provide more granular control over the classification of these "other" vegetables. The subcategories are 2005.99.55.10 for Sweet bell-type peppers and 2005.99.55.90 for all other qualifying vegetables. This distinction is crucial for accurately identifying the specific type of prepared or preserved vegetable being imported or exported, allowing for precise tariff application.
