08.03 ‑ Bananas, including plantains, fresh or dried.
This heading covers all edible fruit of the species of the genus Musa. Plantains are starchy bananas that are less sweet than other bananas. The starch contained in plantains differs from that contained in other bananas in that it does not become sweet during ripening. Plantains are primarily consumed after being fried, roasted, steamed, boiled or otherwise cooked.
