0707.00.50 - If entered during the period from May 1 to June 30, inclusive, or the period from September 1 to November 30, inclusive, in any year

This HTS category, 0707.00.50, specifically covers fresh or chilled cucumbers, including gherkins, when they are entered for importation during two distinct seasonal windows: from May 1st to June 30th, inclusive, and again from September 1st to November 30th, inclusive, in any given year. This precise timing is the primary criterion for classification within this sub-heading.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the defined periods of entry. For example, 0707.00.20 applies to entries from December 1st to the end of February, while 0707.00.40 covers March 1st to April 30th. Similarly, 0707.00.60 is for entries from July 1st to August 31st. This emphasizes the seasonal nature of cucumber trade and its impact on tariff classifications.

Within this seasonal classification, further distinctions are made. The sub-category 0707.00.50.05 specifically designates "Gherkins." The remaining "Other" entries under this seasonal umbrella would encompass all other types of cucumbers that meet the seasonal entry criteria but are not classified as gherkins. This subdivision allows for more granular tracking and potential tariff differentiation based on the specific variety of cucumber.
