0707.00.50.50 - Long seedless 🖩

This classification, 0707.00.50.50, specifically covers "Long seedless" cucumbers. These are a type of cucumber characterized by their extended length and the absence of seeds. Their inclusion within Chapter 7 signifies they are classified as fresh or chilled vegetables. This particular subcategory is relevant when these cucumbers are entered during specific seasonal periods: May 1st to June 30th, inclusive, and September 1st to November 30th, inclusive.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0707.00.50.30 ("Persian") and 0707.00.50.60 ("Other"), is crucial. "Persian" cucumbers typically refer to a distinct varietal type, often smaller and with thinner skins. The "Other" category serves as a residual for any other types of cucumbers not specifically enumerated. Therefore, "Long seedless" refers to a specific physical attribute and seedless characteristic not necessarily inherent in "Persian" types or captured by the general "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the specific varietal designation ("Long seedless"), the product's condition (fresh or chilled), and the timing of importation within the specified seasonal periods. Importers must ensure the merchandise precisely matches the "Long seedless" description to warrant classification under this code.
