Fresh Chinese Chives from Mexico
Fresh Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum), also known as garlic chives, are flat-leaved alliaceous vegetables used in Asian cuisine. They are classified under tariff item 0703.90.00 as 'other alliaceous vegetables' because chapter note 2 explicitly includes vegetables of the genus Allium in the scope of headings 07.09, 07.10, 07.11, and 07.12, and this heading covers leeks and other alliaceous vegetables.
