Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 2005 encompasses vegetables preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen. The classification includes specific subcategories for homogenized preparations (2005.10), potatoes (2005.20), peas/beans (2005.40-2005.51), olives (2005.70), sweet corn (2005.80), and other vegetables (2005.91-2005.99). This division represents shelf-stable vegetable preparations with ambient storage capability. Major exporters include China, Italy, and Spain. Products range from canned vegetables to sterilized pouches and jars containing prepared vegetable dishes. Unlike frozen preparations (HS 2004), these items don't require cold chain distribution, making them particularly important for markets with limited refrigeration infrastructure or emergency food reserves.
