0707.00.60.60 - Certified organic

This HTS classification, 0707.00.60.60, specifically designates certified organic cucumbers, including gherkins, when imported fresh or chilled during the period of July 1st to August 31st, inclusive. The "certified organic" designation signifies that these products have undergone a certification process to meet established organic farming standards, which would be evidenced by appropriate documentation accompanying the shipment. This level of detail is crucial for distinguishing organic produce from conventionally grown varieties within the broader tariff structure for cucumbers.

At this specific level within the HTS, the classification distinguishes organic cucumbers from other cucumbers that may also be imported during the specified seasonal window. The primary differentiator here is the "certified organic" attribute, which requires verification beyond the general physical characteristics of the product or its import timing. Unlike sibling categories that might simply denote "other" without specific organic certification, this code targets a distinct market segment and regulatory status.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under 0707.00.60.60. All qualifying certified organic cucumbers falling within the stipulated seasonal entry period and not fitting into any other more specific subclassification (if such existed, which they do not at this precise point) will be classified here. The classification relies solely on the product being a cucumber, fresh or chilled, certified organic, and imported between July 1st and August 31st.
