0807.11.40.20 - Miniature type of a kind described in statistical note 2 to this chapter 🖩

This classification pertains to seedless watermelons that have been certified as organic. The "certified organic" designation signifies that these watermelons have met specific standards and regulations for organic production, often involving verification by a recognized certifying body. This distinction is crucial for importers and exporters to ensure compliance with organic trade laws and consumer labeling requirements.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 0807.11.40.40 "Other," by the specific organic certification. While both may cover seedless watermelons entered at any other time, the "Other" category would encompass seedless watermelons that do not hold organic certification, regardless of their origin or cultivation practices. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the verifiable organic status of the product.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning that if a shipment consists of seedless watermelons entered at any other time and is certified organic, it will fall under this specific HTS code. Importers must be prepared to present documentation proving the organic certification to customs authorities.
