HTS heading 0710 is a 4-digit product category for vegetables that are frozen and either uncooked or cooked only by steaming or boiling in water. It groups many kinds of frozen vegetables, rather than assigning one code to every product. The heading is based mainly on the vegetable and the limited cooking process described in the heading.
To reach the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the vegetable’s identity and then follow the more detailed subheadings and statistical breakouts. These may distinguish individual vegetables, mixtures, or other product characteristics. Confirm that the product still fits heading 0710; products prepared with substantial added ingredients, preserved by a different process, or made into a prepared dish may belong elsewhere. The final classification can require customs-broker or professional review.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is actually frozen when imported, and document how it is kept and presented for importation.
- Identify the vegetable or vegetables by the product’s ingredients, formulation, and commercial description; check whether it is a single vegetable or a mixture.
- Verify that any cooking was limited to steaming or boiling in water, and review whether added sauces, seasonings, or other preparation changes the classification.
- Read the HTSUS subheadings and statistical suffixes under heading 0710 rather than stopping at the 4-digit heading.
- Compare the classification with the product label, recipe, technical specifications, and entry documents, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the facts are unclear.
HTS heading 0710 summary
Vegetables is a 4-digit product category containing 3 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
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.
