Vegetables provisionally preserved (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solution), but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption. This heading applies to vegetables which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (e.g., by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state. Vegetables covered by this heading are generally packed in casks or barrels, and are mainly used as raw materials for manufacturing purposes.
