0807.19.70 - If entered during the period from December 1, in any year, to the following May 31, inclusive

This HTS classification, 0807.19.70, pertains to fresh melons, specifically those other than watermelons, when entered into customs territory during the period from December 1st of any year through May 31st of the following year. This temporal distinction is the primary classification criterion for this subcategory.

This specific classification is differentiated from its sibling, 0807.19.80, based solely on the date of entry. While both subcategories cover "other" fresh melons (excluding watermelons), 0807.19.70 applies only to shipments arriving during the winter and spring months, as defined by the specified dates.

Within this seasonal classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the categorization of these melons. Subcategory 0807.19.70.20 is designated for honeydew melons, a distinct variety of melon. The remaining "other" fresh melons falling under this seasonal rule are classified under 0807.19.70.40, encompassing all other types not specifically identified as honeydew.
