0807.19.80.20 - Honeydew melons

This HTS category, 0807.19.80.20, specifically covers honeydew melons when they are fresh and entered at any time other than the period specified in a potentially preceding category (if one existed). Honeydew melons are characterized by their smooth, pale green rind and sweet, juicy flesh, typically with a musky aroma. This classification focuses on the fruit itself, irrespective of its packaging or preparation for immediate consumption.

It's important to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 0807.19.80.40, which covers "Other" melons not otherwise specified within this branch of the tariff. While this category is also an "Other" melon classification, it is specifically designated for honeydew melons. Any other type of melon that doesn't fall under a more specific descriptor within Chapter 8 would likely be classified under the "Other" sibling.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes remains on accurately identifying the product as a fresh honeydew melon and ensuring it meets the criteria for entry under this specific code, considering any time-related entry restrictions that may apply from higher-level headings.
