Baby Carrots from China
Fresh baby carrots are mature carrots that have been mechanically peeled, washed, and reduced in size to approximately 5-10 cm in length, making them ideal for snacking. They fall under HTS 0706.10.05.00 because they are fresh or chilled carrots specifically reduced in size, distinguishing them from full-sized carrots classified elsewhere. These are not further processed beyond size reduction for preservation.

Import Tips
• Verify the carrots are fresh or chilled and reduced solely by mechanical means without cooking or preservation treatments to avoid reclassification; provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates; ensure proper cold chain documentation to prevent spoilage claims at customs
