Legal and explanatory notes for 0703200000
0703 20 00 CN Explanatory Notes: Garlic
This subheading covers all varieties of garlic (Allium sativum) which are suitable for human consumption. Garlic consisting of a single bulb without separate cloves, having an approximate diameter of between 25 mm and 50 mm and described in the trade as ‘solo garlic’, ‘pearl garlic’, ‘single bulb garlish’, ‘single clove garlic’ or ‘monobulb garlic’ (or any similar commercial denomination), is also covered by this subheading. This subheading does not cover so-called ‘great round-headed garlic’ or ‘elephant garlic’ (Allium ampeloprasum, falling under subheading 0703 90 00), which consists of a single bulb of an approximate diameter of 60 mm or more (i.e., significantly bigger and heavier than a multi-clove garlic bulb). The species Allium sativum and Allium ampeloprasum differ also regarding their respective gene pools.
Notes to chapter 07
Notes 1. This chapter does not cover forage products of heading 1214. 2. In headings 0709 to 0712, the word ‘vegetables’ includes edible mushrooms, truffles, olives, capers, marrows, pumpkins, aubergines, sweetcorn (Zea mays var. saccharata), fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta, fennel, parsley, chervil, tarragon, cress and sweet marjoram (Majorana hortensis or Origanum majorana). 3. Heading 0712 covers all dried vegetables of the kinds falling in headings 0701 to 0711, other than: (a) dried leguminous vegetables, shelled (heading 0713); (b) sweetcorn in the forms specified in headings 1102 to 1104; (c) flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes (heading 1105); (d) flour, meal and powder of the dried leguminous vegetables of heading 0713 (heading 1106). 4. However, dried or crushed or ground fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta are excluded from this chapter (heading 0904). 5. Heading 0711 applies to vegetables which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state.

EU classification regulations for 0703200000
Commission regulations that classified specific goods under this code. They bind customs in every member state for identical goods.
- 0703 20 00 Jul 27, 2007 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
Whole bulbs of garlic (Allium sativum) at a temperature between 0 °C and – 5 °C but not frozen throughout.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 0703 and 0703 20 00 . The product is excluded from heading 0710 as it is not ‘frozen’ in the meaning of Chapter 7 (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 7, General, third paragraph). The product is therefore to be classified in heading 0703 as chilled garlic.
