HTS heading 0706 is a four-digit product category for certain edible roots that are fresh or chilled. It groups carrots, turnips, salad beets (salad beetroot), salsify, celeriac, radishes, and similar edible roots. The condition matters: products that are dried, frozen, preserved, prepared, or otherwise processed may belong in a different heading.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTS code, start with the root’s specific type and then follow the subheadings and statistical breakouts under heading 0706. The product’s identity, physical condition at import, and any distinguishing characteristics—such as whether it is a named root or another similar edible root—can determine the final code. Use the current HTSUS text and relevant classification notes, and obtain customs-broker or other professional advice when the product does not fit clearly.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is an edible root and is fresh or chilled when imported; do not assume heading 0706 applies to processed or preserved goods.
- Identify the exact root type, such as carrot, radish, turnip, beet, salsify, or celeriac, and compare it with the wording of the available subheadings.
- Check whether the product is whole, cut, trimmed, packaged, or otherwise prepared, because its condition may affect classification.
- Read all subheading notes, unit descriptions, and statistical suffixes in the current HTSUS before selecting the eight-digit code.
- Keep product specifications, photos, invoices, packing information, and processing details that support the classification; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if uncertainty remains.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
