Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fruit-based homogenized for infants ≤250g
Though garlic is vegetable, fruit-homogenized infant prep in 2007.10 takes precedence if applicable.
If simply blanched and frozen
Minimally processed frozen vegetables without further prep stay in 0710.
If juiced, unfermented
Garlic juice, not solid prep, would go to fruit/veg juices in 2009.
