Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If organic but entered in summer months
Organic status doesn't affect seasonal subheading; June-Oct uses the counterpart code.
If organic dried and ground into flour
Milled organic lima beans become starches/flours under Chapter 11, losing vegetable status.
If organically preserved provisionally
Organic veggies preserved in solutions (not frozen) go to 0711 if unsuitable for immediate eating.
