Analysis
Subheading 0710.90 covers mixtures of vegetables, 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 spread of 6.1 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 14%, applies to 0710.90.91 (mixtures of vegetables: other).
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 7.9% to 14% with a median of 10.95%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 0710.90.11 for mixtures of pea pods and water chestnuts, other than Chinese water… (7.9%) and 0710.90.91 for mixtures of vegetables: other (14%).
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.
