0709.30.20.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 0709.30.20.60, pertains to "Other" eggplants (aubergines) that are fresh or chilled, and specifically those entered into customs during the period from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, in any year. This designation is reserved for eggplants that do not fall under more specific varietal classifications.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 0709.30.20.20 covers "Chinese" eggplants and 0709.30.20.40 encompasses "Italian" eggplants, this "Other" category serves as a residual for any other types of eggplants not explicitly listed. Classification into this subcategory relies on the absence of the defining characteristics of the Chinese or Italian varieties, such as specific shape, size, or color profiles typically associated with those types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 0709.30.20.60 is the final determination for any fresh or chilled eggplants, not identified as Chinese or Italian, imported within the specified seasonal window. Importers should ensure that the physical characteristics of their goods do not align with the criteria for the more specific sibling categories to correctly classify under this residual provision.
