Chilled Trimmed Asparagus Spears from China
Chilled trimmed asparagus spears are fresh asparagus with the base lightly trimmed for retail display, then chilled for transport. They remain fresh or chilled and are not substantially processed, so they fall under tariff item 0709.20.99. Trimming does not change the classification as fresh vegetables.
