Dried garlic in powder or flour form is classified under 071290 (or a more specific line within 0712) rather than with fresh garlic in heading 0703. The drying and powdering process moves it out of the fresh/chilled chapter into this dried-vegetable heading.

The critical factor is whether the product has been 'further prepared' beyond simple drying, cutting, or grinding. A dried vegetable that has been cooked, seasoned, mixed with sauces, or combined with non-vegetable ingredients in a way that constitutes preparation is generally classified in Chapter 20. Plain dehydrated or freeze-dried vegetables with no added ingredients remain in 0712.
