0807.11.40.40 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 0807.11.40.40, pertains to seedless watermelons that are certified organic and are entered at any time other than during a specified period (as indicated by the parent category "If entered at any other time"). These are fresh watermelons, characterized by the absence of seeds, and must possess official certification demonstrating adherence to organic farming standards. This category specifically targets consumers or markets that prioritize organically produced fruits.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS Code 0807.11.40.20. The sibling category covers miniature seedless watermelons that meet specific size criteria defined in statistical note 2 of this chapter. While both are seedless and fall under the broader "seedless" classification, this category focuses on the organic certification as the primary distinguishing feature, rather than the fruit's size.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, solely based on the criteria of being a seedless, certified organic watermelon entered at a time outside of specific seasonal considerations. Importers should ensure they have the necessary organic certification documentation to support classification under this code.
