HS Code 0704Cabbages, cauliflowers, kohlrabi, kale and similar edible brassicas; fresh or chilled
3 six-digit codes · Heading 4 of 14 in Chapter 07 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 0704 is where customs puts fresh or chilled cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale and kohlrabi. Some traders call it HSN code 0704, but it is the same heading.
“Cabbages, cauliflowers, kohlrabi, kale and similar edible brassicas; fresh or chilled” divides three ways under heading 0704 — 070410, 070420 and 070490. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 4 of 14 in Chapter 07, Vegetables and certain roots and tubers; edible, which runs to 73 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 0704 covers
Heading 0704 is for edible brassicas. These are leafy and headed vegetables from the cabbage family. Think of a white cabbage, a head of cauliflower, a crown of broccoli or a bag of kale.
The key words are fresh or chilled. If the vegetable is raw and kept cool for sale, it belongs here. If it has been frozen, dried or salted, it moves to another heading.
This heading sits in the vegetable group of the Harmonized System. Customs officers in each country use it to decide which duty and which paperwork apply to a cargo.
HS 0704 six-digit codes: cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage
Each code below is a six-digit subheading. Countries add their own extra digits after these six, so the full tariff line in your market may be longer.
- 070410: cauliflowers and broccoli, fresh or chilled
- 070420: brussels sprouts, fresh or chilled
- 070490: all other edible brassicas, fresh or chilled. This is where cabbage, kale and kohlrabi usually land.
How to choose the right code under 0704
Start with the plant. If your product is cauliflower or broccoli, use 070410. If it is brussels sprouts, use 070420.
Everything else in the family falls to 070490. Its wording says n.e.c., which means not elsewhere classified. It works as the catch-all for white cabbage, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, kale and kohlrabi.
Use the catch-all only after you have ruled out the two named codes. Customs checks usually compare your invoice wording with the exact code wording, so keep the product name clear on your papers.
Duty depends on the national tariff line, not on the six-digit code alone. The HS code classifier can help you narrow down the right code before you ship.
0704 vs nearby headings: frozen, dried, lettuce and preserved
Many buyers search for the wrong heading because the state of the vegetable matters as much as its name. Use this short guide.
Frozen cabbage or cauliflower goes to 0710, which covers vegetables frozen after steaming or boiling or left uncooked. Dried brassicas go to 0712. Brassicas kept in brine or similar liquids only for transport or storage fall under 0711.
Lettuce and chicory are not brassicas. They sit in 0705, so a difference between HS 0704 and 0705 comes down to the plant family. Turnips and similar edible roots are in 0706, even though they come from related plants. Fresh vegetables not named anywhere else in the chapter go to 0709, and onions and garlic are in 0703.
- Fresh or chilled brassicas: 0704
- Lettuce and chicory: 0705
- Frozen vegetables: 0710
- Provisionally preserved vegetables: 0711
- Dried vegetables: 0712
