Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS classification covers cucumbers, including gherkins, when imported during the specific period of July 1 to August 31, inclusive, in any given year. This period represents a distinct seasonal window for the entry of these fresh or chilled horticultural products.
The crucial differentiator for this category is its defined entry window. It specifically excludes entries made during other periods, which are classified under sibling categories such as those for December to February entries (0707.00.20), March to April entries (0707.00.40), and May to June or September to November entries (0707.00.50). Therefore, accurate date of entry is paramount for correct classification.
Within this seasonal classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between specific types of cucumbers. Subcategories differentiate between "Gherkins" (0707.00.60.05) and "Other" cucumbers, allowing for more granular tracking and statistical reporting based on the botanical or culinary distinction of the produce.
