Fresh or Chilled Lettuce (Except Head Lettuce)

The US schedule distinguishes organic packaged salad cut mixes by weight: mixes under 1 kg per package are classified under 0705190020, while those over 1 kg fall under 0705190030. This distinction matters for retail-ready versus foodservice pack sizes, and importers should verify net weight per package — not total shipment weight — when determining the correct line.

When a blend contains multiple lettuce varieties, classification generally follows the variety that constitutes the essential character or the predominant component by weight. If the blend does not clearly align with a named variety line (romaine under 0705194020 or butterhead under 0705194040), it would fall under the residual seasonal NESOI line 0705194080. Importers with mixed-variety products should document the composition and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the appropriate line.
