HS Code 2005Vegetables preparations n.e.c.; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen, other than products of heading no. 2006
10 six-digit codes · Heading 5 of 9 in Chapter 20 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
In India, traders call the same heading HSN code 2005.
The WCO writes heading 2005 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 20that answer to “Vegetables preparations n.e.c.; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen, other than products of heading no. 2006” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 10 six-digit codes, 200510 through 200599, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 5 of 9 in Chapter 20, Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants, which runs to 52 six-digit codes in all.

What heading 2005 covers
The Harmonized System is a shared list of product codes. Customs offices use it to name goods that cross borders. Heading 2005 is one entry on that list.
The short form n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. A vegetable lands here only when no more exact heading fits it. Tomatoes and mushrooms, for example, have headings of their own.
Two kinds of goods are left out. Vegetables kept in vinegar go elsewhere. So do vegetables kept in sugar. The guide further down shows where each one belongs.
What does heading 2005 include?

2005 or a nearby heading? How to pick the right code
Most mistakes come from how the food was kept. Ask which vegetable it is and how it was preserved. Then use this guide:
- Kept in vinegar or acetic acid: heading 2001.
- Tomatoes: heading 2002.
- Mushrooms and truffles: heading 2003.
- Frozen vegetables: heading 2004. This is the main gap between 2004 and 2005. One is frozen and the other is not.
- Preserved in sugar, such as drained, glace or crystallised pieces: heading 2006.
- Unfermented fruit and vegetable juices: heading 2009.
