How Chapter 07 is organised: fresh, frozen, preserved and dried

In this chapter, the state of the product decides the heading. The same vegetable can sit in different headings if it is fresh, frozen, preserved or dried. Check the state first, then the vegetable.

• 0701 to 0709: fresh or chilled vegetables.
• 0710: frozen vegetables, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water.
• 0711: vegetables provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption.
• 0712: dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared.
• 0713: dried, shelled leguminous vegetables, such as peas, chickpeas, beans and lentils.
• 0714: manioc, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, plus sago pith.
