0807.19 - Other:

This HTS category, 0807.19, encompasses fresh melons, excluding watermelons. It serves as a residual classification for all types of melons that do not fall under the specific subheading for watermelons (0807.11). This includes a wide array of popular melon varieties known for their distinct flavors, textures, and appearances.

Distinguishing 0807.19 from its sibling category, 0807.11, is based on the presence or absence of a large, typically round or oval fruit with a thick, green rind, often characterized by dark green stripes or a solid dark green hue, and a watery, sweet, and often seed-filled interior – the watermelon. This subheading, 0807.19, is for all other fresh melons.

Within this category, further subheadings exist to delineate specific types of non-watermelon melons. These subdivisions allow for more granular classification of common varieties such as cantaloupes, renowned for their netted rind and sweet, orange flesh, and Ogen and Galia melons, which typically have a smoother rind and a distinct aroma. The "Other" subdivision within these subcategories captures any remaining melon types not otherwise specified.
