HS codes for dried garlic flakes — avoid misclassification

admin

Dried garlic flakes are sometimes declared under fresh garlic codes. What is the correct classification and what breaks if it is wrong?

Dried garlic belongs to the dried-vegetable heading (0712), not the fresh heading (0703). Misclassification changes the duty rate and can void the phytosanitary certificate, which is issued against the declared product. Ask the broker to show you the binding ruling they rely on.
