Analysis
Subheading 0710.21 covers peas (Pisum sativum), within heading 0710. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The US splits it as follows: 0710.21.20 for if entered during the period from July 1 to September 30, inclusive… (1¢/kg) and 0710.21.40 for peas (Pisum sativum): other (2¢/kg).
2 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Frozen Fruit, Juice, and Vegetable Manufacturing (311411). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 0710.21 once they fall within heading 0710 (vegetables (uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water), frozen). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
