Certified Organic Blanched Asparagus Spears from Japan
Certified organic blanched asparagus spears are minimally blanched then chilled, still fresh for immediate use. They are not fully cooked or preserved, so they remain fresh or chilled and fall under tariff item 0709.20.99. The minimal blanching does not change the classification.
