Vegetables, mixtures of vegetables n.e.c. in heading no. 0712, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder but not further prepared, dried.
Classification of dried mixed vegetables under HS 0712.90
The classification of dried mixed vegetables under HS code 0712.90 is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. Heading 0712 specifically covers vegetables that have been dried, whether whole, cut, sliced, broken, or in powder form, provided they have not been further prepared. The subheading 0712.90 acts as a residual category for mixtures of different types of dried vegetables that are not individually specified in other subheadings of 0712. To qualify for this code, the vegetables must be dehydrated to a point where they are preserved for long-term storage without the addition of preservatives like sugar or vinegar, and without being cooked or seasoned. If the mixture contains added ingredients such as salt, spices, or flavorings in significant quantities, or if it is packaged as a ready-to-eat soup mix, the classification may shift to Chapter 21. However, simple mixtures of raw, dried vegetable pieces intended for later culinary use remain strictly within 0712.90. The process of drying must be the primary preservation method, ensuring the product is shelf-stable without refrigeration.

Codes often confused with 0712.90
Common mistake. Dried mixed vegetables are frequently confused with HS code 2104.10, which covers soups and broths and preparations therefor. The distinction lies in the presence of seasonings, fats, or starches; if the mixture includes a flavor base or bouillon, it belongs in 2104.10. Another common error is using 0712.20, which is specifically for dried onions, or 0712.31 for mushrooms, when the product is actually a mixture of multiple vegetable types. If the mixture contains more than negligible amounts of dried herbs, it might be classified under heading 0910.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
