0707.00.50.22 - Persian

This HTS category, 0707.00.50.22, specifically classifies Persian cucumbers that are fresh or chilled and have met specific entry period requirements. To fall under this code, the cucumbers must be entered into the customs territory during either the period from May 1 to June 30, inclusive, or the period from September 1 to November 30, in any given year. Furthermore, these Persian cucumbers must have been grown in a greenhouse environment and must be certified organic.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by both variety and the specific certification requirement. "Long seedless" (0707.00.50.24) refers to a different varietal type of cucumber. "Other" (0707.00.50.26) at this level would encompass greenhouse-grown, certified organic cucumbers that are not Persian. Therefore, the key distinguishing factors for this subcategory are the "Persian" varietal designation combined with the greenhouse cultivation and organic certification, within the specified entry periods.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification terminates at this level, meaning that any fresh or chilled Persian cucumbers meeting all the preceding criteria – greenhouse cultivation, certified organic status, and entry within the designated seasonal periods – will be classified under 0707.00.50.22. The focus is on the specific varietal, cultivation method, certification, and timing of entry.
