HTS heading 0704 is a four-digit product category for edible brassica vegetables that are fresh or chilled. It groups products such as cabbages, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, and similar vegetables in the same botanical family. The heading describes the product’s general kind and condition; it does not by itself provide the complete classification or duty treatment.
To reach the specific eight-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s exact type and then follow the applicable subheading structure. The classification commonly narrows by the vegetable or group of vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, or another similar brassica. Confirm that the goods are truly fresh or chilled rather than frozen, dried, preserved, prepared, or otherwise processed, because those conditions may place them elsewhere. Use the current HTSUS wording and any applicable official notes, and seek customs-broker judgment when the product is unusual or borderline.
What to check
- Confirm the vegetable’s exact commercial and botanical identity, including whether it is cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale, or another brassica.
- Verify the physical condition at import: fresh or chilled, not frozen, dried, pickled, canned, cooked, or otherwise prepared.
- Read the indented eight-digit subheadings and their descriptions rather than stopping at heading 0704.
- Check product specifications, invoices, packaging, and inspection documents for details such as variety, form, and processing condition.
- Compare the classification with current official HTSUS sources and request broker or customs guidance if more than one subheading appears plausible.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
