In plain English
This category includes frozen preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other plant parts that are not covered elsewhere and are preserved using methods other than vinegar or acetic acid. It specifically excludes products classified under a different heading for preserved items. The goods are divided into two groups: one for frozen potato preparations and another for frozen vegetables and vegetable mixtures, excluding potatoes.
