Frozen Water Chestnut Strips from Mexico
Frozen water chestnut strips are julienned corms boiled in water and frozen, retaining natural sweetness and crispness. They are classified under tariff item 0710.80.00 as 'other vegetables' because water chestnuts are not specifically listed elsewhere in heading 07.10 and are prepared only by boiling before freezing.
