Overview
This HTS category encompasses various types of lettuce and chicory that do not specifically fall under the heading for "head lettuce" (0705.19.10). It includes fresh or chilled Lactuca sativa (lettuce) and Cichorium spp. (chicory), excluding those varieties explicitly defined as head lettuce. This broad classification captures a range of leafy greens that are commonly consumed as salads or garnishes.
The key differentiator for this category, 0705.19.20, is its temporal restriction. Goods classified here are subject to specific duty rates or entry periods *only* if they are entered into the customs territory between June 1 and October 31, inclusive, of any year. Outside of this specified period, these items would likely be classified under a different HTS code that does not have this seasonal import provision, such as the sibling category 0705.19.40, which is designated for "Other" without this specific time constraint.
Within this seasonal category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification based on the specific variety of lettuce. These subcategories distinguish between Romaine lettuce (0705.19.20.20), Butterhead lettuce (0705.19.20.40), and Red and green leaf lettuces (0705.19.20.60). An "Other" subcategory (0705.19.20.80) is also provided for any remaining varieties of lettuce not otherwise specified within this seasonal grouping.
