How to choose the right subheading

Identify the vegetable first: potatoes, leguminous vegetables, spinach, sweet corn, other vegetables, or mixtures.
For leguminous vegetables, decide the species: peas, beans, chickpeas, lentils, or pigeon peas.
For beans, decide whether the beans are reduced in size and whether they are lima beans, cowpeas, string beans, or other beans.
For other vegetables, decide whether the product is reduced in size and name the specific vegetable.
For mixtures, decide whether it is a pea pod and water chestnut mixture or another mixture, and check organic status.
