0707.00.50.26 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers cucumbers, specifically gherkins, that are fresh or chilled and meet the criteria for entry during the specified seasonal periods (May 1 to June 30 and September 1 to November 30). Within the broader category of "Other" cucumbers, this subcategory further refines the classification to those grown in greenhouses. The "Certified organic" designation indicates that these greenhouse-grown cucumbers have undergone a certification process to meet established organic standards.

This classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories such as "Persian" and "Long seedless" cucumbers. Those siblings typically refer to specific varietal types characterized by their physical dimensions, seed content, and skin texture, regardless of the growing method or organic certification. This "Certified organic" category, however, is defined by its cultivation environment (greenhouse) and its adherence to organic farming practices.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the successful verification of the greenhouse cultivation method and the presence of valid organic certification for the imported cucumbers. This ensures that only fresh or chilled cucumbers fitting all these specific criteria, including their seasonal entry window, are classified under this code.
