0705.19.20.60 - Red and green leaf lettuce

This HTS subheading, 0705.19.20.60, specifically classifies red and green leaf lettuce that is fresh or chilled. This category encompasses varieties of *Lactuca sativa* that are characterized by their loose, non-heading leaf structure, distinguishable by their red or green coloration. The classification applies when these types of lettuce are imported during the period from June 1 to October 31, inclusive, of any given year.

Within the broader classification for "Lettuce: Other," this subheading is distinct from its siblings. While 0705.19.20.20 covers Romaine lettuce, and 0705.19.20.40 covers Butterhead lettuce, this particular code is reserved for leaf lettuces. The "Other" category at 0705.19.20.80 would be used for any other types of lettuce not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings, provided they meet the general criteria of fresh or chilled lettuce and fall within the specified import period.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Therefore, precise identification of red and green leaf lettuce, as opposed to other leaf lettuce varieties or heading lettuces, is crucial for correct classification under this code, particularly considering the seasonal import restriction.
