HTS heading 0712 is a four-digit product category for vegetables that have been dried, including vegetables that are whole, cut, sliced, broken, or ground into powder. It generally covers the vegetable in a dried form when it has not been further prepared into a finished food product, such as a seasoned mixture, sauce, or ready-to-eat preparation.
The heading is only the starting point. To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS subheading, identify the specific vegetable or plant material and then follow the more detailed descriptions under heading 0712. The code may distinguish among types of vegetables, such as onions, mushrooms, carrots, or other listed materials, and may also depend on whether the product is whole, in pieces, or powdered. Confirm the current wording and any applicable classification notes in the official HTSUS.
What to check
- Identify the exact dried material, using its common and botanical or commercial name when helpful.
- Confirm that the product is only dried and has not been further prepared with cooking, seasoning, sauce, oil, or other ingredients.
- Check the product’s physical form—whole, sliced, cut, broken, granulated, or powdered—and compare it with the subheading language.
- Read the complete 8-digit descriptions and any relevant section, chapter, or heading notes rather than relying only on a product keyword.
- Keep ingredient lists, specifications, processing details, and samples available; ask a customs broker or request a formal classification decision if the wording is unclear.

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.
