0707.00.20.45 - Other

This HTS classification, 0707.00.20.45, covers "Other" cucumbers and gherkins, fresh or chilled, that are greenhouse-grown and certified organic. This specific designation applies to organic cucumbers produced within a greenhouse environment that do not fit into more specific subcategories at this level. The "Other" designation is crucial here, indicating that the general criteria of being a cucumber, fresh or chilled, and greenhouse-grown have been met, along with the organic certification.

It is important to distinguish this classification from its siblings, 0707.00.20.37 (Persian) and 0707.00.20.40 (Long seedless). Those siblings are defined by specific varietal characteristics (e.g., shape, seed content, skin texture). This current category, 0707.00.20.45, is for certified organic, greenhouse-grown cucumbers that, while meeting all other criteria, are not specifically classified as Persian or long seedless. This could include a variety of cucumber types, such as standard slicing cucumbers or pickling varieties, provided they are organically grown under glass and not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this particular classification. Therefore, the primary focus for classification into 0707.00.20.45 is to ensure the product is a cucumber or gherkin, fresh or chilled, grown in a greenhouse, certified organic, and does not meet the specific criteria of the "Persian" or "Long seedless" classifications at this same level. The key differentiator remains the absence of specific varietal classification when organic and greenhouse-grown status are met.
