0707.00.20.15 - Gherkins

This category specifically classifies gherkins, which are small cucumbers, when imported fresh or chilled. For the purposes of HTS classification, "gherkins" are defined by their size and often their intended use in pickling. This distinction is important for import duties and statistical reporting.

While the parent category covers all cucumbers, fresh or chilled, this subcategory narrows the scope to a specific type of cucumber. The primary sibling category would likely be for larger cucumbers, or potentially pickled gherkins if they were classified under a different chapter. The key distinguishing factor here is the fresh or chilled state and the identification as gherkins, rather than processed or larger varieties of cucumbers.

Since this node represents a leaf node in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories. Classification is complete at this level, meaning all criteria for this specific entry have been met, including the seasonal import period outlined in the parent context.
