0707.00.60.30 - Not exceeding 15 cm (6 inches) in length and presented in bulk quantities of 453.6 kg (1,000 lbs) or more

This classification specifically covers cucumbers, including gherkins, that are fresh or chilled and meet precise physical and quantity criteria. The cucumbers must not exceed 15 centimeters (6 inches) in length. Furthermore, to be classified under this heading, they must be presented in bulk quantities of 453.6 kilograms (1,000 pounds) or more. This ensures that the classification applies to commercial shipments of smaller-sized cucumbers rather than individually packaged or smaller lot sales.

This specific subcategory is distinct from other potential classifications of cucumbers within Chapter 7 by its stringent requirements regarding both the length of the individual cucumber and the substantial bulk quantity for importation or exportation. While other categories might address different sizes, preparations (e.g., preserved), or presentation formats, this node targets a very specific scenario of large-volume shipments of small cucumbers. The seasonality mentioned in the parent context (July 1 to August 31) is also a critical factor in determining applicability, further narrowing the scope.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for these goods. Therefore, the classification ends here, with the criteria of size (not exceeding 15 cm) and bulk quantity (453.6 kg or more), combined with the seasonal entry period and the fresh or chilled condition, being the definitive factors for classification. Any deviation from these specific parameters would necessitate re-evaluation under a different HTS heading.
