Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 2004 covers vegetables prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, frozen. The classification distinguishes between potatoes (2004.10) and other vegetables including mixtures (2004.90). Unlike fresh vegetables (HS 0701-0709) or simply frozen vegetables (HS 0710), these products undergo additional preparation such as pre-cooking, seasoning, or sauce addition before freezing. Major exporters include Belgium, Netherlands, and USA. This value-added category supplies both food service operations and retail consumers with convenient, ready-to-heat products. International trade requires uninterrupted cold chain documentation and faces increasing requirements for allergen declarations and nutritional labeling in major markets.
